I went thru the same thing with my daughter. police said it's a civil matter. child protection said they could arrest me if I didn't pay my child support but could do nothing about visitation. lawyer said he could take her to court but she would only get a warning, I'd get visitation again until she held my daughter from me again and I'd have to take her back to court.. and again.. and again.. I'd go months without seeing my daughter.. that changed to once a year.. then once every couple years.. now in her 20's, daughter moved from Texas back here to be by me and doesn't even answer her mother's phone calls. I have her now but missed out on most her life before. fathers have very few rights unless they can afford to have them enforced.... again and again
