Re: visitations

If the Mother does not comply with the visitation requirements set forth in your Order, then you can (and probably should) consider filing a contempt action to enforce the Order. In order to maximize your chances of success in the contempt action, you need to have proof of her violations of the Order. To prove that she failed to bring the children, you can certainly get a police report, as that is often very helpful to have later. Another option is to have a witness present with you at the exchange time/location to verify that she did not bring them.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
