If have a voluntary visitation schedule set-up but want to cancel it, do I have to go to court?
For 3 years I have had a DVO against my son’s father. The judge said that it was up to me if I wanted to set up a visitation schedule. I decided I would let him see my son every Wednesday from 4 pm-6 pm a nd on Saturdays from 9 am-6 pm. There is no court ordered visitation set up and now the visitation is not working out with my son. Can I stop the visitation or do I have to go to court to do that?

If there is no court order with respect to the visitation schedule between your son's father and the son as you have written and the visitation is no longer working out for you and your son with the father, then seemingly it appears that you can just write the father a note ending the situation. Keep a copy of the letter for future use and need. There would be no need to go to court to change the situation since there is no order in place for visitation.
