The other parent won’t let me see the kids. What do I do?
If you are in the process of getting a divorce or establishing paternity/visitation, you may file a Motion for Temporary Visitation with the Court. The motion requires a hearing. At the hearing, the party who is not allowing the kids to see the other parent must have serious reasons why visitation is being denied. If there are no reasons, the Court will enter an order granting temporary visitation. This order remains in effect until the final parenting plan is in place.
If you are already divorced or have already established parentage, you must file a Motion to Show Cause and demonstrate how the opposing party is not complying with the Court's order. This paperwork is available in the clerk’s office. A hearing must take place. At the hearing, the party who is not complying with the order has an opportunity to be heard. If there is no reason why the order is not being followed, the Court may hold the non-complying party in contempt of court and impose sanctions.
