Contempt Of Court?

Postby Mamoon » Wed Feb 26, 2014 1:16 pm

My ex hasbeen getting our child home late going back a few months regularly. He is designed to have her back by 6:00. He NEVER does! While I say late, after all everywhere from an hour or so to 2 hrs late.Is this enough to record a motion for contempt of court? I am fed up with him getting her back overdue constantly.

Contempt Of Court?

I agree. I previously asked my lawyer. I've had the same going back 7 years. Usually on time for collection and everywhere from 1/2 to 3 hours late for fall off.This is recognized as a small problem and a slap on the arm. Not worth the cash to invest for that to occur. I simply report anything and call with my mobile phone after being 1-hour late so there's an archive of the call being made (not that it matters)Our child reaches age now where she bugs her father to create her home and ultimately it works.Good Luck

Honestly, what is the big deal? I agree it is rude and inconvenient but I think a judge is going to be seriously irritated if you try to file contempt charges for such a minor issue.

If itis given within the paperwork then it may, but if it is not you will not get any grip. Additionally, consider how costly it's with an attorney file a motion. If it's been happening consistently for a while then you may also encounter issues from his lawyer about why you did not item so far, and crying to him will not count in court unless you can confirm it in an application that can be recorded. Additionally be prepared to be questioned for official certification of what occasions he reached your house on each event. For a problem such as this, I Would wait and soon you have numerous problems before trading what it requires to visit court for contempt. Meanwhile, you may start a go over the bow in the shape of the official letter from your own lawyer. Much cheaper and it could get that which you want.

Does your paperwork state an exact time for him to return her? Does it affect your child (emotionally, physically) that she is returned late?Consult an attorney before persuing.
