Question from magrammaOct-30
I have a 6 year old son who lives with his dad. The child support is suspended right now, but I do owe some arrears, which I am paying. My ex is telling me that I have to 'prove" some things to him before I can see our son again. he has custody, I have standard visitation every two weeks, hollidays. .... I missed our sons last bday party because i was in the hospital. Every since then he has refused to allow me to see him. ( that was sept 14) I live with my parents and my daughter,(from another dad). I was at my parents house a couple of weeks ago with my son. My ex allows him to be at my parents house all he wants, my ex found out I was there and threw a fit. he said he is going to terminate my parental rights! I am in compliance with our decree, but he still wont let me see him. Now no one gets to see him, even my other daughter, his sister, and she is suffering because of my ex's actions. i live in oregon. I am afraid to file anything because his mom works at the courthouse, and is friends with everyone! She is very pushy when it comes to her son, she hates me and tells my ex what to do. Im afraid. I keep calling and leaving messages, but he will not call me back. I want to see my son!

The status of your child support arrears is irrelevant.  Your ex cannot dictate willy-nilly the terms of your visitation.  If he is violating your support order, it's up to you to bring an enforcement action in court.  Whether Grandma with all her connections has the whammy to prejudice your case against you I couldn't say (it's highly doubtful that she does) but I can guarantee you that if you do nothing, nothing will be done.  Consult local counsel.
