Re: Visitation Enforcement
1. If you don't have a lawyer, retain one.
2. If you don't like the decision of the court, appeal.
3. If you don't choose to appeal or lose the appeal, decide whether it will be better for the children to see their mother in person or their father held in contempt.
4. During all of this, continue negotiations.
5. Children do not make the rules, the parents do.
