Law - world - usa - Illininois - criminal interference
with visitation
http://www.fathersrights.org/CRIMINAL
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!!!
