Visitation cut short

[LizaLou1]

Dear Soc,

From your experience, what do Judges generally do, given the following facts:


Our Judge in a previous contempt finding for denying visitation ordered the BM to provide door to door interstate transportation to the BF (no longer meet half-way) as well as 15 days in jail (suspended).

At Thanksgiving the BM's commercial travel arrangements cut the visit in half and the BM specifically refused to allow the BF to transport the child by auto as he was visiting their city anyway when visitation was supposed to have started.

We filed contempt papers with the court.  

1.  Do Judges general say half is better than none and find in her favor?

2.  Is VOLUNTARY school a mitigating circumstance in her favor?

Thanks for all you do.

No, judges find contempt where there is contempt and then award nominal damages if they want to slap the parent's wrist.

I don't know what you mean, but if you mean that the child was at an optional school function and that caused your time to be cut short, then that's another contempt.
