Law - Criminal Interference on Visitation
http://www.fathersrights.org/CRIMINAL
INTER
Refusing to follow a court ordered visitation
schedule is a criminal act in many states. It may also be
defined to be domestic violence harassment or even kidnapping.
If your ex refuses your visitation, file a complaint with
the authorities. You will have to take a copy of the law you
are demanding they enforce with you because they often will
try to tell you it is a "civil" matter. It is no
more a civil matter than robbing a liquor store or any other
crime. If
police refuse to enforce the law, take a copy to your local
prosecutor, mayor, newspaper editor, and radio/tv stations.
Ask them to ask the police on what basis they choose to enforce
some laws and not others. This tactic is now resulting in
arrests and convictions of women who mentally abuse their
children by denying court ordered visitation!!!
