Description
Petitioner and respondent were divorced on December 8, 1979. There was a stipulation signed the same day that addressed the custody and visitation of the two minor children of the parties and set out out specific, well defined visitation rights of the respondent. The final divorce decree stated, inter alia, that the wife was to have legal custody of the children and that the husband was to have specified rights of visitation with his children which included two months visitation in the summer. In addition, the parties stipulated that they were both fit and proper parents. Seven months after the divorce, the respondent filed a motion to enforce his visitation rights or in the alternative to find petitioner in contempt of court for failure to follow the provisions of the final decree relating to visitation. The morning of the hearing, petitioners attorney requested a modification of the visitation schedule, setting forth the reason that petitioner had removed herself from Roswell, New Mexico to Irving, Texas. Respondent is a resident of Ruidoso, where both parties resided at the time of the divorce.
