My question involves a child custody case from the State of: MN, CA
Our amended MTA (in MN) require that my ex (who relocated to CA) send kids (10yo/7yo) to visit me during their winter, spring, and summer holidays. Unfortunately she lost her job in Oct 2012 and so she did not send them in winter break (Dec. 2012) and is not planning to send them again during their upcoming spring break. I had taking time off and traveled to CA in Dec. 2012 to see them, I cannot afford to do so every time. My parenting time has been drastically reduced. She is screening my calls. My attempts to talk to kids have gone unanswered since 3/12/13. A week before that she hung up on me during an argument regarding a gift I had send for the kids. I have called multiple times each day and left VM and email/text messages (short) asking kids to call me back. What should I do? I am very frustrated. I have never missed a single child support payment, I pay for their activities and I also pay for their health insurance, etc.
While they were in MN, I had the usual every other weekend and 1 weekday in visitation, which I had maintained since our divorce.
Do I have a legal recourse to regain my usual parenting time? (total)
If I were to pursue a legal course, would the paperwork need to be filed in MN or CA?
Thank you for help.
