Divorce can be a painfully difficult experience to go through, especially if you have children. However, you should never forget that you are entitled to your parental rights. If the court has mandated a parenting time agreement between you and your ex-wife, you are both bound by law to abide by that agreement. If she refuses to do so, you have a few options at your disposal.
Document Everything
The first thing you need to keep in mind is that you must keep strict records of every infraction of your parenting time agreement. Keep a detailed log of every event, including dates, times, and names of the appropriate parties. This will help you paint a detailed picture of your ex-wife’s deliberate refusal to abide by the court’s ruling, which can help your case if it goes to court.
Keep up Your End of the Bargain
No matter what your ex-wife does, under no circumstances should you take it as a free pass to engage in your own violations of the parenting time agreement. Though the temptation will be strong to break your end of the agreement, especially if her actions have reduced the amount of time you get with your child, such actions are likely to be seen by a judge as evidence of your contempt of court, and it will hurt your case if you try to level the same charge at her.
