QUESTION: My ex will only let me see my child in my grandmother's house where I used to live but I have now moved to a different area and want to bring the child there. She has been difficult since we broke up and violent and controlling. I am currently trying to gain access through court. She and her family have threatened my wellbeing so I have moved away. Can she dictate where I see the child even if it is in my own house?
MY RESPONSE: If you have (or receive) an unrestricted child visitation order, you can visit the children wherever you choose to visit them. If their mother fails to give you access to the children on a court-designated visitation day at the court-designated time, you can file an Order to Show Cause in re Contempt against the mother and/or file an Order to Show Cause to modify Child Custody based on their mother's failure and refusal to allow you unfettered frequent and continued contact with the children. If your ex has threatened you with physical harm, you may qualify for Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, and if you succeed in obtaining such orders, it could assist you in getting a modification of Child Custody. You would best retain or at least consult with an experienced Family Law Attorney regarding your matter.
