A separation agreement is only a contract between both parties that signed it. If one person fails to comply you have to take them to court in order to get a judgment in your favor. I ran into the same problems and the police will not get involved. If he wants his visitation and she is not granting it, he needs to take her to court and get a court ordered visitation agreement. ---

What is the criteria for getting law enforcement involved in visitation issues? My husband’s separation agreement (signed and notarized by both) was never filed with the courts. It does state that he will have visitaton with the children every other weekend. Do we have any grounds to get the police involved if she does not meet this…or do we need to file something with the courts first? Is it possible to have the current separation agreement filed even though it was signed 2 years ago?
