All of your suggestions were done including providing evidence to a judge, who substituted into this case, who overlooked all perjury on the part of the mother and her attorney along with their multiple violations of court orders, including 4 motions and orders to pay the father medical restitution and direct orders to file oppositions and answers within a specific period of time. I filed a complaint against this judge and the law stated that until my complaint was heard, she could not make any rulings in the case on any pending motions, but she did anyway. This judge intentionally violated laws that prevented her from making any decisions in this case and got away with it so far. Custody was taked away from me because I was unemployed and the court refused to admit evidence pertinent to this case that was adverse to the mother. The only choice is to pay the court $300.00 to get rid of this biased judge and have another one appointed. My daughter is now 14 and can according to law choose who she wants to live with, but she refuses to go to court in Nevada, because of the judge's actions against her.

Suggestion to father. When the visitation hearing is held, be sure the judge specifies the frequency of your visits and orders the mother to cooperate. If arrangements are not or will not be made for visits, look into filing Contempt of Court charges against the mother for not following the judge's orders. That child NEEDS to be allowed to communicate with her father! She needs to KNOW what he is like instead of what the mother is telling her the father is like. She NEEDS a true and independent picture of her father without the prejudices of the mother. A Contempt of Court Charge will open the eyes of the problem person when they're hauled off to jail for failure to follow the judge's orders. A Contempt of Court Charge will likely bring about better communication and maybe even longer and better visits with you. The problem in so many cases is that the mother makes false accusations against the father to prevent visits. If your visits are required to be supervised, take someone with you to be certain false accusation cannot be made. You might even try taping the visit to have verification that your visit is of value to your daughter. There's a site on the internet that gives some helps to fathers. You might try searching for it. I cannot remember the name of the site. There are also lawyers who specialize in father's rights. One thing for certain, CPS has absolutely no idea on how to cooperate with the father of a child. CPS uses most of their efforts to help mothers and tends to believe every word she states. Your best bet is probably having your lawyer file Contempt of Court if the judge's orders are not honored in EVERY detail. Go for it! Ask your lawyer to help you get telephone visits. The telephone company should not be taking sides in this effort of communication. The telephone company should not be blocking her calls to you or your calls to her. You may have to get a court order to prevent that from occurring. Maybe you can talk to the telephone company about the possibility of charges against them for reporting calls between a father and his child IF the judge has not ordered them to take sides. Best of luck! Hang in there! When your daughter is grown, she'll find that you did all you could to BE HER LOVING FATHER but had no cooperation. Keep on keeping on! A daughter usually bases her search for a spouse on a fellow with similarities to their own father. Maybe she'll find a fellow who will do all he can for his children just as you have done. If you're paying child support, you should get to visit with that child! You should be able to be certain that your daughter is receiving the best in life using your child support payments. Hang in there. Take care of your own health so you can be there when her mother can't interfere.
