Refusing visitation.

Refusing visitation.
Q. When I got divorced I got primary physical custody of
our 10-year-old daughter, Cheryl. My husband got
alternate weekend visitation.
At age 12, Cheryl refused to go on visitation. My ex
filed a contempt complaint against me. The judge said
I'd be in contempt if Cheryl didn't go on visits. For
the next two years Cheryl only went on a few visits.
Cheryl, now 14, refuses to visit her dad. He filed
another contempt against me.
Will the judge send me to jail?

A. You're not in contempt because this is a Cheryl vs.
Dad problem. But, file a complaint for modification
asking to end visitation. Also ask the court to appoint
a guardian ad litem and an attorney for Cheryl. Then,
step back and let the GAL and Cheryl's attorney do their
thing.
