Divorce can get ugly. Even after the dust settles and the process is finalized, you may encounter problems with your former spouse, especially if you share children. If your ex is trying to interfere with your relationship with the children and denying you visitation, you have options to protect your parental rights.
Protecting Your Rights as a Parent
If you are being denied visitation with your children, you are likely feeling very frustrated and even a bit hopeless, especially if it is becoming a pattern. However, it is important to not give up. Instead, you need to take your case through the proper legal channels to protect your rights. It is also crucial that you do not attempt to take this matter into your own hands by taking the children from your spouse. Otherwise, this could seriously complicate matters in court for you.
If your ex is denying visitation, it is crucial to document each incident with as much detail as possible. For example, if you have any texts, emails, or other forms of correspondence with your co-parent, you should keep them. Thorough documentation of denied visitation will help strengthen your case when you take it to court and file a motion to enforce.
During this time, it is important for you to continue paying child support. Even if your ex is denying you parenting time, refusing to pay child support is not an option. If you stop paying child support, you can face steep fines or even jail time, so be sure to continue fulfilling this obligation and avoid any unnecessary obstacles in court.
