Dear gray65:
I am so sorry to hear about the molestation, but I am glad that he was placed in jail for his crime. Other than filing a domestic violence action, there is no way to obtain custody/visitation without going through a costly court process. If you are to have visitation in your separation agreement, you should go and pick up the children at the dates and times the separation agreement says. You may need law enforcement to assist you.
Also, you want to let your ex know that you intend to file a breach of contract claim against her if she does not comply with the separation agreement terms. Thank you.
