Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

motion to modify visitatiion

my son was divorced from his first wife in 2003, in lake county, ohio. he had two daughters who are ages 6 and 8. my son has remarried and lives in florida, he had his visitation (standard) when he lived in ohio, but since he moved to florida, his ex-wife will only let the kids visit him when my wife and i go to florida to visit during the christmas holidays but refuses during the summer, stating that they are not allowed to fly down or drive down if he comes and gets them. he has come back to ohio to visit and the ex-wife would not let him take the kids to anything unless she goes along and his new wife is not present. my wife and i do get the kids every other weekend when it would be my sons visitation times but not on most holidays. when he asked to have them she says that her mother already has plans for them at her house for the summer and/or they have to go to summer school. what can he do to get his children to visit him in florida and if he has to appear in court, can i stand in for him if he gives me power of authority. can he file with the court without an attorney

Re: motion to modify visitatiion

He should file a motion and appear at the time the court date is set. If he cannot appear at the time, he should ask for a continuance that would also work with his schedule.
