He has done this several times lately.. ignore the court order and do whatever he wants, keeping my son longer than he is supposed to. What legally can I do to put a stop to this?
No my son wanted to come home.

Yes, I know this feeling - I have an ex that used the "challenge" the court orders on returning my daughter (she's an adult now) and when I would call the cops to help me get her, he'd come up with some stupid excuse like..."...well, I'll have her home soon..." and the cops would just tell me that and not help me.
It's very disruptive when the court orders have specific instructions on what time, where, who and what and then you try and follow them but the other parent can do whatever the heck he/she wants and leave you hanging and you can't plan anything when it's your time because you just don't know when you are getting your child back!
What I would do, is call the cops...try and get your child back with the cops and get a report no. or at least the cops badge no. and then I would motion the court to go before the judge and explain what's been happening with the judge's court order not being obeyed by the ex or enforced by the cops and see what the judge will do to put the ex on notice. Whatever the judge says they are going to do in the future when the ex defies the court order - get that in writing and then show the cops when they come out. And I would keep calling the cops and going before the judge until the judge sees this cat-and-mouse game and puts the hammer down.
It's very disruptive to your schedule and the household when you are waiting on your child to be returned.
Good luck.

hi - guess you're up worrying - it's nearly 5am.
Do youhaev court papers that say when he needs to bring your boy home? If you do, phone the police and they can charge him for kidnapping and they can bring him home.
Sounds extreme, but a court order can be enforced by the police - it doesn;t have to go back to court.
If you don't have a court order, then the police will make sure your son is safe - bit they won't bring him to you unless he is NOT safe. you will then have to go to court to request access.
Just call the police. They will help you.

Record every single violation that he makes, if you need to bring the police in, then do that. Take all the evidence back to court, see if you can get a new order. I would highly recommend the police. The next time he doesn't show on time, call 5 min later, and inform him that you will be calling the police if he doesn't bring your child home immediately, then give him the time it takes to get to your house, and if he is not there, then call the police and report that he is in violation...

call the police I am the father of my child and go through the same things with his mother she is constantly not allowing me to see him on my day but I do know this If you call the police they can not make him give him to you nor can they take him to jail for kidnapping but they can make a report of this and the next time you go to court he will get in big trouble for this simple act of stupidity

call the cops - by law that would be kidnapping ; since you do have papers saying that he needs to. He can actually get into a bunch of trouble for that, therefore - i'd be calling the cops right away.
