I would say a good defense is a homestudy report and forensic evaluation report that might comment positively about the relationship you have with the child.  Would you rather have the Saturdays then a day during the week?

My childs mother decided to take our child out of town and be gone violating several days of my visitation.  She knew before hand that our child would miss several visitations with me.  I offered that she just compensate me the time with our child before she left.  She refused.  And left out of town with him, violating the current visitation order.  I missed a midweek visit (4 hours) and my weekend with my child (51 hours.)  Furthermore, she came back in town Saturday but still did not make my child available to me so that I might at least have the last day of my visitation with my child.  I already have 4 police documents for visitation inteference but the most recent is at least 2 and 1/2 years old.  Will the DA allow me to press charges for visitation interference based on the old ones?  or will I need current documentation for this latest instance?  I ask because the police are reluctant to get involved although they have the court order and everything

My most current court order does not provide that the mother can take our child out of town.  She informed me several months ago that she was taking our child out of town, but refused to tell me anything specific.  She never went to court to get a court order for out of town visitation.  Six days before she left with our child she gave me a handwritten note stating a very general destination and a relatives cellphone #.  She left with our child, and I missed a midweek visitation (4 hours) and also all of my weekend visitation (51 hours).  Even though she had our child back in town Saturday, she refused to make him available to me so that I might have what was left of my weekend visitation.  Does this violate the unlawful visitation interference statute of Illinois?  I have 4 prior police documents for visitation interference but the most recent is about 2 and a half years old.  The town police are reluctant to file incident reports.  Will I be able to get the states Attorney's office to press charges?
