I too had interference problems with the CP (mom). I have successfully used this code section below and got an officer to meet me, showed court orders for custody time, he promptly wrote an incident report and offered to testify. (see GA code below and check your family code here)

This same officer said that I had done a smart thing by having my court papers (a certified copy) with me to show custody time and calling the police to accompany me before showing up at the mother's residence. Plus I had started taking "credible" witnesses (like off duty officers), notebook for logging events, tape recorder and hidden mike to capture all conversations, threats, etc.

The officer told me, "I wish more men handled this situation like you, Mr. Anderson". Occasionaly, I have had to arrest the angry father because the situation escalated and he did something stupid and broke the law". "Also Mr. Anderson, without the court order showing your possession times, I would have had to arrest you for trespassing if you did not leave the mother's residence after she refused to let the child accompany you and told you to leave. This was the RockDale Sheriff's office in Conyers. {great to work with}

See GA code 16-5-45.

(2) "Committed person" means any child or other person whose custody is entrusted to another individual by authority of law.

(C) Intentionally and willfully retains possession within this state of the child or committed person upon the expiration of a lawful period of visitation with the child or committed person.

(2) A person convicted of the offense of interference with custody shall be punished as follows:

The offense is deemed to be committed in the county to which the minor or committed person was to have been returned upon expiration of the period of lawful visitation.

(3) A person convicted of the offense of interstate interference with custody shall be guilty of a felony and shall be imprisoned for not less than one year nor more than five years.

[Use this law if you have a court order that specifies visitation/ custody times. NEVER use language "NCP shall have reasonable or liberal visitation /custody". It is so vague that it is not enforceable and difficult to use this law for enforcement].

Getting a judge to judge to convict the interfering parent or any other party for violation in trial court, is another matter. Repeated uses of this code section and uses a court reporter can be used to establish a pattern and seek action against the judge for violating his oath of office. It is not easy as getting child support enforced, but you can use it. Keep up the fight for enforced shared parenting.
