Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Uncooperative Parent
What do you do when the other parent is unwilling to cooperate with you in visitation rights?
My wife are in the middle of a divorce; we just finished an online parenting course and are awaiting the certs to come in.
The question above comes in light of serveral ongoing issues I am having with her. 1) She never returns my phone calls 2) She is constantly changing, altering, or cancelling pre arranged visiation plans. 3) She often responds with ''We're busy'' that night when I do try and arrange to see my children.
In addition she has informed me that my son ''no longer wants to see you'' (partly because I don't ever get to see him, I'm sure) and that if that's what he wants, then she's willing to allow it. In other words, my son has decided he doesnt feel like seeing me anymore and my wife is fine with this.
I should note that I suggested that we all go to conseling, her, the children and myself, indvidually and/or together and she felt that was a ''bad idea''.
I feel lost and not sure what to do now. If she won't cooperate now what can I do before my relationship with my son gets worse?
Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Re: Uncooperative Parent
There is a lot you can do.
If you don't have an attorney, you desperately need one.
You need to file for temporary orders -- then if she won't allow visits you have an enforceable order that she must follow. If she violates the order, then you can file contempt on her.
You need to tell your attorney what is going on. There are other things that can be done -- depending on the court you are assigned to for your divorce.
Good luck!
