I Don't Get to See My Child, What Do I Do?

The most common child custody question we get asked at The Attorney Connection's Child Custody Center is "What do I do?" All too often, it is in the context of a parent (usually fathers), who tell us how the other parent is unreasonable and is not letting him/her see their child for no reason at all. Unfortunately, they let this situation go on for way too long.

What to do? Take action. It's a lot simpler than most people think. If you don't have a child custody order in place, you need to petition the court to get one established. What a court order does is protect your parental rights and giving you recourse if the other parent does not comply. If you have an existing child custody and visitation order or parenting plan in place, you probably need to file a Motion for Contempt/Petition to Enforce, or similar motion depending on the jurisdiction. Bottom line, nothing will change with your child custody situation unless you takes steps to initiate change.

To hire a typical law firm to help you with this generally costs thousands of dollars.
