Divorce and your parental relationship
So you’re divorced, and your ex has custody of your minor children . Although not happy with this, you accept that this is how your family will function from here on – with you getting visitation with your children either in accordance with the court’s ruling or with your divorce agreement. Unfortunately, to your dismay, your ex-spouse is unwilling to allow you to exercise your visitation rights. What can you do? For assistance with your divorce matters , you should call an Israeli Divorce Lawyer.
First, we have to differentiate the manner in which your former spouse is meddling with your visitation rights. In the case where s/he interferes with and tries to control what you should do with your offspring while you are with your offspring ~ all the time during visitation}, then you should initially give firm yet gentle feedback about your freedom of choice to spend your visitation time with the children as you see fit, as long as is in the minor’s children’s’ good. If this doesn’t help , then a motion can be made to the relevant court to intervene. The court will likely send a social worker or a psychologist who will meet with you and your family (together and/or each alone ) and will make suggestions on the matter. The courts generally adopt these suggestions and will issue instructions about the visits , or the court will delegate its powers on this matter to the social worker or psychologist.
In the event that your former spouse prevents you from visiting the offspring at all or otherwise won’t allow you to exercise your visitation rights in accordance with the divorce agreement and/or divorce judgment, then you can ask the court to enforce your visitation rights and to hold your ex in contempt of court. If your former spouse continues to refuse to co-operate with court initiatives to ensure visitation and consistently breaches court orders, s/he can be fined, and in very extreme cases even imprisoned or can lose custody.
Like all matters in divorce – especially those matters regarding kids, the best bath is always to try to reach a fair solution to an untenable situation. Remember, the more you argue with your former spouse – especially in issues regarding your offspring – the more damage that you will be doing to the children . That being said however, it is important that you understand that it is not healthy for your children to become totally disenchanted with either parent. This is called Parent Alienation Syndrome. Call an Israeli Lawyer If you feel that your relationship with your offspring is starting to go down this path. Remember that you can take the legal action needed to try to stop this .
