If she is defying the court order, file for contempt.

What kind of visitation are you supposed to have? (every other weekend?) How long has this been happening? Do they live in the same state? How old are the kids? Are there any restrictions to your visitation? How long has this been going on? How many times have you taken her to court for contempt? When was the last time you went to court for contempt?

We need a lot more background in order to help you.

Okay, this is the thing, if you are behind on child support, the court will look at it as if you do not have your child's best interest in mind. They say that child support and visitation are two seperate issues but the thing is, if the court doesn't see you paying to support your kids, they look at it as "Why should we worry if he doesn't see his kids? He doesn't help support and take care of them." I know that sucks but that is how it goes.

You best bet: Do what ever it takes to pay up the child support as much as you can before you take her to court the next time for contempt / interference with visitation. Since you have been to court so many times you should be familiar with the paper work necessary to file for contempt. If you have to (if you do not qualify for assistance with legal counsel) you can file contempt paperwork on your own. It's usually called going Pro Se to represent yourself. You can pick up the necessary forms at the court house. This will save you a ton of legal fees. If you do this, (paying up the support) the court would probably take your concerns about visitation a LOT more seriously.

Call your ex ahead of time and tell her you want the children for the weekend. Then go the her house (with a copy of the court order) try to pick up the kids. IF she refuses call the police. Tell them you are at her house, you have a court order, and you want your children.
Be very pleasant. Be cool. Be calm. IF she asks you to leave, go off her property and stand in the street or on the sidewalk to call the police.
Do that every time you have a scheduled vist till she willingly hands them over.
**Even if it does not work and the police for some reason will not enforce the order at least there will be records of your attempts.

The police are bound by law to let you have your children if there is a standing court ordered visitation. If she has new paperwork that makes that order void, the police will tell you this. The last person who did this, said that the police told her that she had to hand over the children, and she did. Are there any judgements against you, such as a restraining order, that include the children?

Just so you know this does not hold ture in every state of this wonderful United States of America. The police I KNOW without question, will not and can not get involved even if you have the court order for visitation in FL, GA or LA. I know becasue I went through this in all three states over the past few weeks. The told us it is a civil matter to be handled by the courts.

It is a civil matter that was already handled by the courts that is why you have an order... They are suppose to enforce court orders and if police refuse you should at least file a report that the other parent is not complying with the order so you can take the other parent to court with very clear evidence. It won't be a he said/she said when you have the police documentation.

If you are talking about Holland, out of the U.S, this may be why. In the U.S, I have heard numerous times on this board, where people got results by calling the police, once the person in question, refused to hand over the child/children.

start paying your cs- in full every month- and whatever arrangement you can make regarding a payment for the arrears, what exactly- as in word for word- do your court orders state regarding visitation and custody?
