    Default Prevented From Exercising Visitation

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Tennessee
    OK I have visitation rights to my daughter her father hasn't let me see her in 4 years. I pay my child support every month and have since we divorced. I live in NC and he lives in TN. And won't provide a phone number and when I get one he takes and disconnected it. I've wrote letters and send cards go UN answered. I've tryed legal aid but no help.emailed attorneys but can't get help. If I go to court and file papers myself would the judge hear me would I get to see my baby that's only 6 . They put parents in jail for non payment of Support. What will they do to him.

    What have you done to enforce visitation?

    Have you turned up and been refused?

    If you haven't seen her in 4 years, you really need to file again to modify the current visitation order. She won't know you, really, and it would be in her best interest to have initially short, supervised visits in Dad's community.

    Then eventually if all goes well, you'll generally be able to go back to a regular visitation schedule with overnights and weekends etc.

    Ok, writing to the court won't work - they are not actually allowed to communicate with you that way.

    You need to file a motion in court - and if you don't know how to do that, you really need to speak with an attorney.

    Please tell us though, exactly what your visitation order says, word for word. (Minus names).

    OK my parenting plan states as follows
    first in Tennessee you have to do parenting classes witch my certificate was filled in 05. Witch the divorce was filled then as well. And it stated my visits started once that was filed with the court. Then. My visits mothers day every,July 4th odd,labor day even. Thanksgiving day odd. Christmas even. And then Christmas on even years he has from school is dismissed to Christmas at one. Then I get from 1pm till 6pm the night before school resumes. Transportation is to be split equal between the two party's. I will pay 372.00 a month in support I do every month. I'm entitled unimplied telephone conversations with her twice a week. To know what school she goes to. Records of them. To be giving 48 hours notice of any activities. We signed June 10th. And he had an attorney I didn't so I feel like I got took...

    OK, thank you.

    How many times have you actually turned up at Dad's house to get your daughter? Have you ever filed contempt?

    How many times have you requested the records from the school?
