My husband has a child from previous relations. It is court ordered that he gets her every Wednesday. She said he could not get her today because he has not been there the past few visits. Is this legal? What can be done about it? We live in Texas

He could not make it because of work and asked to get her another day to make it up and she denied it. She also would not let him see her three visits in a row because she was "sick" but would not let him make those visits up

No it is not legal! She can get in trouble when they both go back to court. Tell him to write EVERYTHING down and bring it with him when they do. I would go make a report at the police station so it's in legal writing for the court date. Make sure to call the courthouse for your rights on a lawyer. If you have to have one to make a court date for her being in CONTEMPT of COURT.good luck...L

The choose has those who watch over young children visits with there dads or moms. There activity is to save the youngsters save and do what suitable for the youngsters. So your son isn't around the grandda. It usely a state ran position that watch over the visits. They watch very close and make notes of each and every component suggested or achieved. If the dad shows up less than the impact of alcohol back they'll make an statement of it and he wont get to confirm the toddler that day. i'm sorry your son is disabled and became premature.

Not sure on laws in Texas, but in Tennessee I had to contact my lawyer and file a contempt of court order on my EX. The cops wouldn't help at all even having court papers. You may be able to get the contempt order by going to your juvinile court system if you do not have a lawyer.

i know it is not legal call your lawyer. Its crazy because you know if the situation was reversed and he didn't return the child to her on time or something all hell would break lose. She is trying to be complicated and dont listen to these people who are saying he should have been there. Work has to be done or child support cant be paid and there is another battle.

its not legal. he made the situation worse by missing the last few visits. he should of rescheduled his work. women everyday put their children first. 2day at work their was a meeting that went over my shift. i was required 2 stay but i had 2 pick up my son @ preschool. if i didn't pick him up who would,my husband does not get home till 6pm. maybe thats how your boyfriend needs 2 do it. one day a week do whatever is neccessary 2 make it 2 c his daughter. he can reschedule meetings, start work earlier, stay at work later on thur or tue 2 make up for wednesday. he can't just schedule everything perfectly around you guys schedule. Y didn't u go pick her up?

no, it isn't legal. call your lawyer and contact the court immediately. actually, you could call the cops too. if you have the paper work that says he gets the child on a a certain day and the other parent will not give them up, they can get in serious trouble for that.

Don't raise any dust over this. It is her way of punishing him because he has missed some visits. If he shows good faith, then she'll probably do the same.
