Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

Re: visitation rules w/a sick child involved

Parties withhold visitation from ex-spouses all the time. But I tend to represent those whose visitation rights have been arbitrarily and unilaterally denied. If you stop the visitation on your own, you could be charged with sanctions -- if your ex-wife hires a hot shot attorney. The better move would be to file a petition in court to modify visitation due to your wife's lack of a phone. Are you positive she does not have a cell phone or a next door neighbor she could use to make a call? If so, then you really have no justification to deny visitation and it sounds more like spite.
