When there has been an ugly divorce and custody battle and one parent insists on violating the court-approved parenting schedule, which branch of law enforcement gets involved in things like returning the kids from the wrong place to the right place? Sheriff? Police?

Yes, if you have a copy of your mediation/court order you can call the police/sheriff dept. You will want to record the incident # (they will provide it to you if you ask) so if/when you go back to court you can show how many times the other person did not follow the order. I don't know why people have to be like that, sorry you are going through it. What you need to do is follow that order, be at the place and time your order states - if the other person is not there within 15 min, call law enforcement. This is obviously an effort to control and manipulate you but don't play the game, just follow your legal order. The court will not look highly on what the other person is doing. When you do get the kids just act like nothing is wrong, don't let them see this is upsetting you - you want them to feel comfortable and safe no matter what the ex is doing.

authorities always try to stay out of it...they will only write a police report for you. best thing to do is document every violation and take it back to court until the parents can work out differences for themselves.
