We have a temporary custody order in place, but my ex won't let me see my child. What should I do?
You should do the same things as if the order was permanent- file a motion for
contempt immediately, and document
the denial of visitation. This is even more important when a temporary order is in effect and
litigation is still in process- the visitation interference is a clear sign that the parent denying
visitation will not support the relationship between the child and the other parent. This is a
factor that is considered in many States' custody statutes when deciding permanent custody
orders.
