Yes, divorce was in Texas.  In Dallas County.  We supposedly have joint custody, but that word is such a joke.  There is nothing about joint in joint custody.  I get no word about my child, no nothing.  I have to write directly to school to get reports.  Only way I get them.

X has refused to send out my child unless I pay for all.  I am supposed to have her 1,3,5 weekend of each month, plus alternating holidays.  Texas family code.  But they did put the stipulation in that one sends and one picks up.  NO other option.  When I moved to TN, she took me back to court to up the child support, but since my income is so low, she dropped that if I would pay for Christmas & summer.  I agreed to that to appease her.  But now, I haven't seen my child in 2 1/2 years.  That is NOT fair to me.  I cannot keep going on like this.  I'm so upset that I need to finally do something.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Texas Daddy

My heart goes out to you.  I don't have any advice unfortunately.  I suffer from not seeing my child because mama won't let her come.  I pay my child support through the state and it doesn't matter.  She get's her money, I get no visitations.  REALLY FAIR! (not).  I hope someone does have an answer for you.

Best of luck.

Take care

Hi All,

I'm new here.  Have been looking for sites for fathers.  My issue is: Is there any way I can file contempt of court against my X because she never sends my child out to see me.  We are to split costs and everytime my child wants to come and I want my child to come, the mama says she can't because she doesn't have money.  She lives with her mother, pays no rent, no utilities, works full time, (sure she's got lots of credit cards maxed but ...).  So I never get to see my child.  I am wondering if I can do the contempt of court without going through a lawyer because I do not have the money.  

Help please!!!!!

My child is in TX and I'm in TN.  Moved in hopes of finding work and although found something it is not much since I suffer from health conditions that interferes with my working conditions.

Thanks
