Can I ever get back "stolen time" with my kids?

09/26/11 10:19 AM

About a month ago, I posted my story that my ex was in violation of a court order allowing me to have regular visits with my kids. Ever since her fiancee assaulted me on Father's Day, she has not let me have any visits with my three children.

I filed a motion for contempt of custody, waited a month for my court date, and when that day finally came, we didn't even get heard by the judge due to overcrowding in the courts.

Now I have to wait at least another two weeks to "reclaim" my court date. Meanwhile, my ex, the "Safety Mom" (a supposed family safety and wellness expert) continues to keep me from seeing my kids.

You can imagine my frustration, anger, and sadness. My sadness comes from the fact that I missed an entire summer with my young children. While she and the man who assaulted me went away on vacations with them and made lasting memories, I wasn't even allowed to see my own children. She even tried to have me arrested for trespassing when I dropped by the town pool just so I could see them and hug them.

So my question to all of you is this: Is there anything I can do to get back those months of "stolen time"? Is there some way, provided the courts find her in contempt, that I can get regular visitation restored plus extra time with my children to make up for the time she deprived me of?

Please let me know if you have experienced any sort of justice in this type of situation.

Sincerely,
KennyR
