Mom Sent To Jail After Ignoring Court Visitation Order

In this family court enforcement hearing, a father says he has not seen his daughter since September twenty twenty-four, despite having a court-ordered visitation schedule. He testified that he drove from Houston to Dallas multiple times, waited at the exchange location, left a copy of the updated court order at the door, and even recorded the attempts on bodycam. The mother argued she believed the old supervised-visitation order still applied and raised concerns about family violence. But after hearing the testimony, the judge found that the mother violated the court’s visitation order by failing to surrender the child for the June thirteenth possession period. The judge held her in contempt, ordered her taken into custody, and sentenced her to forty-two days in jail, while also awarding attorney’s fees and costs.
