[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 358973, member: 1169"] Miles, I hadn't checked this thread in a while. With all due respect to Step and all she has been through, please be aware that court orders are just that - ORDERS, not suggestions. And most judges will enforce their orders with all the power of the law behind them. Since you have a court order that says when mom gets the kids, she gets them. If your daughter refuses to go, you can end up in jail or worse, finding yourself the noncustodial parent and the children living with mom. The custodial parent has a legal obligation to facilitate the relationship between the children and the non-custodial parent. While I understand your fear at sending the children to visit her overnight, you had to do it. (Some states allow children at a certain age -often between 12 & 14 - to tell the judge their preferences for custody and visitation; it remains the judges decision and they may, with an older teen, write the order such that the teen controls when/if they have to visit but that is unusual.) Step's advice about getting an attorney that matches the level of aggression that you want is so key. My neighbor interviewed 7 attorneys before he found one that didn't tell him he'd have to settle for every other weekend and wednesday nights (he wants primary or 50/50). You need to be comfortable with your attorney. If one of the children come home and say that mom physically hurt them, take them to the doctor and call CPS, immediately - not the next morning. Then file ex parte to have visitation supervised in a visitation center. [/QUOTE]
