Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Leveraging and abuse of court orders

I would like to know what I can do with my ex-girlfriend who has continued to deny me my visitation with my daughter.

I have had several court orders put into place that says that I will have my visits and they will take place on certain days and if the orders are not followed then there will be sanctions to the parent that is violating the orders. My ex has now gone to the extreme of filing a false allegation, that I threatened to kill her on the phone. She has done this in hopes that in the end she will be able to deny me acsess to my daughter. I have taken a polygraph test and past the test, but this has not done me any good. Could you please tell me if there is any kind of a case history of anyone that has had this same thing done to them and could you tell me what I can do to get and end to this woman filing these bogus allegations on me. PLEASE HELP, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Leveraging and abuse of court orders

Sometimes the only way to make things work is to be hard. You need to assemble the evidence to support a motion to show cause re contempt. The remedies include, but are not limited to: attorney's fee (as a sanction), make up time. Multiple contempt citations would support your seeking to have the parenting plan modified with contempt as the basis.
