My opinion: Get a good lawyer asap and get the custudy for your kids!!!! If they´re really so unhappy the judge should make a good decision, you will get the kids.

Your child is still a child until age 18, and until then your ex can file contempt charges against YOU if your children do not go to him on his legal visitation dates.\n\nYou really ought to encourage them to go.  You'll be the one in legal trouble if they don't go.

Dont let this one go - I think the courts take enough of our rights away as fathers - take it to court, prove your relationship and fight for custody over the kids...

Follow court orders or you will risk losing your children.  Contact the court and request for a hearing before the judge.

Go to your court house and file a complaint for visitations, and go to court and well go from there.  If it is something that you want then you will do what it takes.  I have been through similar things and the best thing that I can give you as advice is go to your county court house and file for visitations.  If you are fit and stable then you will get visitations through court and she will have to let you see your daughter...if she don't then she will be in contempt against a court order.

You need to protect yourself, and it seems you need to do it threw legal action. At this point she thinks she can walk all over you and you will do nothing about it. You need to show her that you are willing to what it takes to protect yourself and the kids. Good luck and don't take that crap.

Unless a court has given you some sort of shared custody agreement, which you would know about, the custodial parent has all the rights.\nSince you are paying support, you can go to court to ask for visitation, but the court will not be interested in what is owed to you, but rather, what you can offer to the child.

Go to your county's Child Support Agency. It's in the phonebook. Call or walk-in. If the children are in your care for more than 1/2 the time, he will be required to pay child support. As far as him seeing them, you may have to go to mediation which cost me $100. I didn't request it, he did. Actually, he requested it 2 times. Do your best as far as that goes. You do have to cooperate with visitation but only if he's looking for the best interest of the child. Which is what the mediator does. However, the mediator will believe what he/she wants from both sides. Be polite. My ex started to get rude and it effected the outcome. I just stayed quiet during his little fit. I hope this helps. Good luck! Don't let him bully you out of this either. You're fighting for your children's rights.

Seek out a church and speak witht eh priest or preacher.\n\nAsk that the church help you and babies get to another town or county.\n\nIF these other law inforcements aren't helping you, you should contact Dateline NBC. 20/20 ABC  any big news show  and have the whole damned city and county  responsible for your not getting the help rightly due you and children.

I would expect one could try petitioning the court, in proving the other parent unfit. But the first step would be to find a good attorney to advise you of that possibilitly and what your rights are.\nBe sure to take your divorce papers with you.

There's got to be more to this story.  I don't know the circumstances but you have a right to see your grandson.\nWhy in the world won't whe let you see him?  Get yourself a good lawyer and sue her.  That'll make her love you even more.

That depends on the laws in your state. MOre states are passing laws that make it easier to terminate right of fathers(and mothers) who dont pay child support or dont see their kids. You need to contact a lawyer or legal services in your state. Most have a free initial consult. They can tell you what your options are. Goodluck!

First of all, and unfortunately or fortunately for you, because your child is 12 they can decide where they want to live. At least in the state of Washington they can. It may be different where you live. Unless there are circumstances where there is abuse or neglect, though, you may have a hard time depending on where you are and what the laws are.\nThe first thing I would do is to contact your local Department of Social & Health Services and speak with someone there about what your rights are and can be done or not done for you based on your income. It's quite possible that if your income is lower they could provide you with financial help. However, you should be aware that if you're in need of financial help and your ex-husband is not, it's going to make your situation harder as he can financially support her and you can't. \nCall those people though, it's a start and if nothing else they can lead you in the right direction.\nGood Luck!

Your best option would be to get both of the child's parents to sign over their rights to the child, and to leave the child in your care.  If this isn't possible, I would try contacting the Department of Child and Family Services Agency in your area and ask them, if they can help in any way.  You will probably need a lawyer to draw up the paper work, but I'm sure that it would be in every ones, especially your grandsons, best interest to keep it out of the courtroom, if at all possible.  Best of luck to you, and God bless.

If she moves without your consent, it's considered kidnapping. He's your child, too, and you have every right to see him when you want. Especially since you have joint custody. Talk to a lawyer about that because since you have a court order to pay and see him, she can't just up and leave. Best of luck to you!! :)
