I am having issues with my wife who has control of our son after she moved out. We are in the process of a divorce. She has made false claims in an effort to steal our 11 year old son from us sharing him */*. My son Jack does not want to continue to be withheld from me. My wife disobeyed the first judge but was not punished for it. Not even a slap on the wrist. In six months, my son and I saw each other just * hours in 6 months. She refused to allow him to meet me for Christmas as instructed by the judge. She wouldn't even let him call. I had to spend Christmas and Christmas Eve alone sitting on the floor where my family should be. I was finally able to get a 2nd hearing where the second judge mandated she not have any interefernce like before. But she is. Judge said Jack and I can play video games online on Monday and Thursday from *:*-*:*. If we cannot meet that night, we can meet the next night at the same time. Jennifer is making this process very difficult by still refusing to talk to me or communicate in any manner about Jack's safety, meeting, etc. Jack and I also get to meet at a park from *-5pm without supervision and I was given back equal status as Jack's parent as it was taken from me bc of a fraudulent TPO. She is law enforcement and also works in the courts once a week. She had a judge who is a friend sign off the TPO that contained half truths and nothing violent. That piece of paper with no evidence to give it any weight is the exactly why due process is important. My wife continues to do whatever she wants, like enter my house without permission with two Sheriffs, scare me and it causes my disability, Dysautonomia to trigger and I will black out. She knows this sort of stress is extremely unhealthy but she has been abusing me for five years. She is now moving on to our son, Jack. Every week, she continues to move the phone calls/video game time - or I won't get it at all. Also, she keeps moving the time that is supposed to be *-*. She refuses to tell me anything. Jack and I will speak every Saturday beforehand. Seeing him has become a major source of anxiety and hurt stomach/diahreha for the both of us bc she will change the time from * to 2pm without permission from me. Definitely not from the judge. She shouldnt even be a part of the conversation bc she was so cruel the last six months to my son and I isolating me completely and him from me and family. He is such a sweet boy. Three weeks ago she changed the time, even though we should have met the following day, Sunday from *-* bc it was lightning and thundering that day. I called Jack at noon, about an hour before we would meet and said we will have to call it bc it is lightning. Now Jen is not supposed to be a part of the conversation per se, but me trying to model for our son and for Jen as well, continue to choose peace and kindness over being rigid. Regardless of her behavior. She refused to bring him the next day stating she had plans. I asked him if she told him what they were. He said no. I said ok so it is probably just hanging at a freinds or her mom where you will sit around and watch tv or your laptop. I told him she can always drop you off at the park at * and go do her thing. You don't have to always go with her (this was a major issue - she would always leave and bring him so I wouldnt think she was cheating on me, etc. It was a very disruptive force in Jack's life. I asked him to tell her that she can...and then I stopped myself and said nevermind buddy. You and I will continue to be the ones who show others how to work with one another. I look at the weather channel and said IDK when it is supposed to stopped raining. This was hard to gauge but I said fine. Tell her 2ish. So since she changed it illegally leaving me no choice but to comply bc I still have a TPO out on me so if I do anything to break it, something simple like going to pick him up, I could be arrested. Which is so sad. The rain finally stopped raining about *:*. I have a disability so I am a little slower than usual but still not an absolute snail. Bc of the unnecessary stress she keeps causing Jack and I, my stomach for the 4th time in 2 days gargled and I had to go diarhea. It was *:* so I texted Jack as we have done every Saturday. Here is where is trying to get away with her abuse. I texted and said tell your mom it will be *:*. I have diarhea. At *:* I was sitting at the main instersection in town. I texted him at *:* and got there at *:*. Went to where we oul dmafe..es

I understand your frustration, ****. In such cases, you might want to consider involving child protective services if you believe your son's well-being is at risk. Also, you can report judicial misconduct if you believe a judge is biased. Seek advice from a legal professional for your specific situation.
who can i report judicial misconduct to (judge) and her lawyer who knowingly lies and speaks half-truths (remember what is at stake - an 11 year lld )
In North Carolina, you can report judicial misconduct to the North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission. For complaints against an attorney, you can contact the North Carolina State Bar.
