Re: Child Support and Visitation

There must be some reason why she doesn't "want" to come over. Maybe there needs to be a reconnection therapy program. 13-year olds simply do not run this world unless you give them a chance. Your husband can file a motion to enforce and for contempt, but unless something more meaningful is done, it won't accomplish much except to crystallize bad feelings. Someetimes, if you say "I love you and I miss you and I want to be with you", it has a desirable effect - if she's listening. Good Luck.
