Hello everyone,

Please give me some tips to deal with this.

My ex is not following the established temporary orders (divorce proceeding are ongoing) for parent time. I was supposed to have my kids for summer now, but he refuses to give them to me.

He has send me a list of 20 questioners which are unneeded, humiliating to fill before he will think if he will give me my kids are not.

What are my options here to make him follow the court established orders.

Call his attorney if he has one. I’m assuming you don’t have an attorney or you would be asking them for help.
Your temporary order should have a warning on it about not following the order. Take those steps. Tell him you’ll file for contempt if he doesn’t follow the plan. Tell him you’ll get makeup days for the days he kept them. File for contempt.
Make sure you’re following the order too. Be sure your home is not a detriment in any way to your kids.
You could have other options in your area, so reaching out to an attorney is a good move.
The court may have someone you can talk to.

Hi @RSingh

If you can't afford a lawyer, an organization like Legal Aid may be able to help. I'm so sorry your ex is keeping your kids from you. I can't even imagine.

Contact legal aid. Lawyer. Courts. There’s nothing else you could do. Is he explaining why he’s not letting kids come to you?

Yes hopefully. Other low-cost options could be available but often they just handle certain legal issues, not all issues. I've done so much digging on this as have my own troubles (not divorce). I've found out there's so many areas of practice and specialty, just like in medicine. Help from non-profits or community based places sometimes have long wait times because the demand is so high yet there's not enough low cost help out there.

If there's a law school nearby, sometimes you can get low cost help from their legal department. Students will get to work on a real life case, with an attorney supervising I believe. This is something I heard about but have never personally tried.

If there's a local bar association, they might be able to recommend someone. I really hope you find someone to be your advocate, to watch your back. I know from experience not to trust the opposing party's attorney, no matter how much they want to "appear neutral".

Attorneys are very expensive. If possible, pick one you also feel comfortable with. It's not just about money, though that's a lot. It's about sharing personal and sensitive details about your life. Most offer "free consultations" but the length of time given will vary for each attorney. It seems they "round up" to the nearest quarter of an hour.

Keep records of everything, whether written or verbal (both with your spouse and attorney). You might need it later. Don't fill out or sign anything without your own lawyer. I was asked to fill out and/or sign something but did not until I found someone to help me.

My heart really goes out to you. Life is hard enough as it is without legal troubles.

My heart goes out to anyone dealing with the pain of separation AND children being used to punish them. It's utterly deplorable. I wish you the very best. That poor child!
