Ensuring summer Vis. is followed?

[ArkStepMom]

Soc, as you may remember we consistantly have trouble with CP arriving on time, or at all, for visitation, due to differing interpretations of the order. Most recently for June 1, were she failed to show at all. (we came accross a sympathetic Deputy to write a report stating such)

Cp did not return our phone messages as of June 2 in the pm, so we called her local (pop. 300) sheriff to look in on child. Not 5 mins after hanging up with Sheriff's office, we finally recieved a call back from CP.

CP has interpreted "first two full weeks of June..." as starting on Sunday, June 6, despite our letter last year stating our interpretation (and yours!) of the order pertaining to summer visitation.

Our appt. with prospective atty's is not until Friday in the presiding county.

1) Is there such a thing as an emergency hearing to resolve summer visitation issues?

2) What would your intuition tell you about the proximity of our call to sheriff and the return call from CP?

3) Is there a recourse if the Sheriff's office is biased in CP's favor given the likeyhood that they are aquinted?

She's in contempt. You should have filed for same the last time around. Until you get the court involved, the CP will continue to bully you, because she knows/thinks that you won't do anything. And, so far, she's right. Bullies only understand one thing -- imminent force, or the realistic threat of it.

See #1, it covers everything.

Prove it, and if the Sheriff did less than he would, had he not been acquainted, then you can sue the state for a civil rights violation. A few million dollars in your pocket may, however, increase your child support obligation, so CP may inadvertantly win, but with that kind, of money, who cares?
