Full Conversation

my ex husband has my son living with him now ii had my son for first * yrs of his life. long story short I live in Indiana and my ex has not let my son ever visit me in * yrs
Hello Elizabeth,
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Do you have a court-ordered visitation schedule? And has your ex given you any reasons for not allowing your son to visit?
he has agreed to July 13th
Hello Elizabeth,
- If your ex refuses to comply with the agreed date, you can file a petition in court for enforcement of your visitation rights.
- Ensure your agreement is documented for future reference.
- Consult a family attorney for legal advice.
Your location being Indiana, the court applicable would be the Indiana Superior Court.
but insists on photos of my apartment first. the guardian at liem has seen my place & said it's ok. we are no longer in court & both have custody he just bullies me because he knows I can't afford a lawyer
Hello Elizabeth,
- If your apartment has been approved by the guardian ad litem, photographs should not be necessary.
- If he continues to insist, consider seeking legal aid services in Indiana. They can provide affordable or free assistance.
- Keep all communication documented for potential future court proceedings.
ooiut courty is in Chicago court.
Hello Elizabeth,
- If your case is in Chicago court, you can file a petition there for enforcement of your visitation rights.
- Legal Aid Chicago might help if you can't afford a lawyer.
- Document everything, it can be useful for future proceedings.

ok they did help me when I was in the homeless shelter. this is when Lewis took Jace for a visit and never brought him back to me
Hello Elizabeth, I'm glad to hear Illinois Legal Aid Online was of help. If Lewis took Jace and didn't return him as agreed, it's considered a violation of custody agreement. You can report this to your local authorities or family court.
hre would not even let me speak to him
Hello Elizabeth, I understand this is a difficult situation. If communication is impossible, consider reaching out to Family Court Services in your area. They can assist with mediation or enforce the agreement. Always document these incidents for future reference.
it's a mess he put a restraining order on me I missef court date because I didn't get summons..he knew where to send it..he did it on purpose
Hello Elizabeth, I'm sorry to hear about your situation.
- Firstly, you can file a motion to set aside the restraining order due to not receiving a summons.
- Secondly, you may also consider reporting the issue to the court clerk who handles your case.
- Finally, try to gather evidence showing you didn't receive the summons.
ok ty for you help. my family knows they asked for visits also
Hello Elizabeth, that's good. Family visitation can be beneficial for your son. Does your family also have a legal agreement for visitation, or do they rely on the goodwill of your ex-husband?
thanks so much for your help
You're welcome, Elizabeth. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need further assistance. Remember, always document everything, and don't hesitate to seek help from legal aid organizations.
goodwilll of husband but he never let them since *
I understand, Elizabeth. It seems your ex-husband is not cooperative. Has your family considered requesting a formal visitation order from the court to ensure their rights to see your son?
they don't want to do that court is * hours away and can't afford a trip and hotel. that is my trouble as well
Hello Elizabeth, I understand the inconvenience. In Indiana, you can request for a "telephonic court appearance". This allows you to attend court proceedings via a phone call, saving you the trouble of travel and accommodation expenses.
I will remember that
That's great, Elizabeth. Telephonic court appearance can be very helpful in your case. If you need further assistance or have more questions, feel free to ask.
I will
That's good to hear, Elizabeth. Remember, you have rights and there are resources available to help you. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance. Stay strong and take care.
thankyou. God Bless you!
You're welcome, Elizabeth. Remember to stay strong and know your rights. If you ever need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. May God bless you too. Do you need help with anything else at the moment?
