Q: Dear Lawyers, What can I do if my ex-wife is not allowing me to see my 8-year-old child as per the visitation order? There is an execution case for visitation, but my son refuses to come or see me because my ex-wife coerced him into not liking me.

Q: A judgment has granted sole custody of the minor daughter to the father (Plaintiff) and ruled to prove the plaintiff’s custody of the little girl. This does not prevent the right of the defendant (Mother) to see her, visit her, and have her visit him, as will be stated in the operative part. And since the fees and expenses include attorney fees, the court obliges the defendant to pay them in accordance with the text of Article 133 of the Civil Procedures Law. 1. Does the plaintiff have the right to deny the mother taking the child to her place for an overnight stay and only approve supervised visitation? 2. What must be the frequency and duration of supervised visits and video call facility allowed if the child is 8 years old? 3. Does the plaintiff have the right to deny entry to the home without his consent and request the defendant to pick up and drop up the child in the building reception? 4. Can the plaintiff request the defendant to use the appclose application to schedule visitation and video calls?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Kindly let me know what I can do legally. My ex-wife filed a false criminal complaint of physical assault on my son to cancel visitation rights. The public prosecution dropped the case after an investigation.
