Its a good idea for you to consult with a lawyer about this situation, and probably a good idea to file with the court for a custody/visitation order. If you actually have an order right now, and the order says you have every other weekend, then you should file a motion with the court to enforce that order. A lawyer can help you decide what the right move is in this situation.

You might also consider inviting your mother to mediate your differences with a trained mediator. Here is a good one: http://www.centerpointresolution.net/crsfamily....

Good luck.
