[quote=Anonymous]Planning to get legal advise tomorrow; nevertheless, I'm wondering if anyone out there has experience with this.

My situation: divorced dad living out of state with a divorce decree that provides for an extended stay with me during the summer. The decree says I can pick the date and if I don't pick the dates by a certain deadline then the visit occurs between default dated. Each year she threatens not to allow the kids to visit. She has never "allowed" the kids to stay for the entire allotted time. In the past she has waited until after airline tickets were bought then started demanding I change the depart of return date. This has cost significant $$ a couple times but I've been going-along-to-get-along.

This morning; however, I flew across the country and rented a car and showed up at the previously agreed time to pick up my kids and she refused to allow them to come out of their rooms. At first she wouldn't even answer the door. Eventually she came out said she didn't like the agreed upon return date. I told her it was still 2 weeks shorter than allowed for in the divorce decree she said she didn't care. I called the police but they said they don't enforce terms of the divorce and that my only option is to sue her is civil court.

I left without my kids in order to catch my return flight. The kids tickets were forfeit.

Question: How have other people dealt with this sort of situation?[/quote]
