What to do if I have been divorced about 4 years now and lately my ex-husband won’t let me see my son?

My ex has physical custody and we both have joint custody of our son. The reason he won’t let me see him is cause he wants me back and I said no. I’m currently in a stable relationship living with someone for the past 2 1/2 years now. What are my options and by the way I am unemployed; lost my job 8 months ago and looking for one every since then. I am scared to death with all of this. What can I do?

Assuming you have a child custody and visitation order in effect with the court concerning your son, you need to speak with your "ex" as to the need for him to abide by it. Follow up with a letter confirming the conversation demanding compliance with the visitation schedule. Keep a copy of the letter for future use and need.

If there is no compliance with the visitation schedule, you then need to consult with a family law attorney to file a petition with the court for adherence to the visitation order. If you cannot afford a family law attorney, contact the local legal aid clinic in your county to see what assistance can be offered you.
