How to Send a Demand Letter for Visitation
- 1). Write your demand letter. In the letter, the following must be included:
-The date and contact information of the recipient
-The legal phrase "without prejudice," this protects the sender.
- A summarization of the issue or problem.
-The demand for visitation, as agreed upon when custody was settled in court.
-A deadline to respond or a time when the visitation will start, within the boundaries of what the court has approved.
-The contact information of the sender
-Include the words "demand letter" in the letter. - 2). Make a copy of the demand letter. Keep a record of the date you send it as well as how you sent it.
- 3). Send your letter to the custodial parent by certified mail, with a return receipt requested. Also send a copy by first class regular mail. If any questions arise on whether you sent a letter, you will be able to prove that you not only sent it but that it was received. Keep this information on file for your records.
- 4). Follow up. If your letter stated that your visitation will start on a certain date, be there on that date to follow up. If the recipient refuses, you will need to begin further legal action through the courts.
