I am back thought I left huh?

Listen, if you recall husband and his ex entered into a legally binding court order through an attorney in order for his ex to move out of state with his girls.

The court order has been violated 3 times to date already on her part, seems she thinks that the she doesn't have to follow the rules which will be dealt with in the coming months when he files in September. He does not want to bother the court filing every other day. (violations include, notification of schools (not received), notification of health insurance,(she has never done anything about it) and phone contact (she has kept them for calling or answering when he calls for weeks on end). I mention this so you have a full picture of how above the court order she thinks she is.

Now this is not a legal question but an opinion question:

CO states he can visit with 7 days notice written or verbal.

He has advised verbally he would like to see the kids next weekend she did not respond with a yes or no. He has emailed her with this request, she has not responded yes or no. He has also sent a certified letter to which he has gotten no response. She is 5 hours from where we are vacationing so it's not right around the corner. It's a 10 hour trip.

If she does not respond, the question is does he attempt the visitation? Anyone have experience with ths from a personal aspect. The legalities can be dealt with later.

I know he wants to see them, he needs to see them mentally. How can I help him with this, he's asking should he go with no written response?

Thanks in advance. Please save the over bearing step parent thing, I appreciate it, but I am not one of them...

My husbands experience -different state mind you...to properly go about proving contempt, he had to physically go to the pick up point, and wait at least 20 minutes. Their drop off point was a convenience store so he would buy water on arrival and another water when he left. those receipts were presented to the judge.

He needs to attempt the visitation or she can say he never showed up and thus he decided not to exercise his visitation.

Thanks guys I wasn't sure since he can not get any confirmation from her what so ever that she will even accept the visitation I wasn't sure if I needed to tell him to go the reciept way or not. Especially with it being freaking 5 hours away from where we will be.

I don't understand what is so difficult about saying yes or no or why some parents have to play this stinking game
