Lightbulb Need Help???Can someone please help

Is thsis considered Parental abduction or not?

First of all the trem Parental abduction means,"the taking, retention ,or concealment of a child or children by a parent in derogation of custody rights including visitation rights of another parent."

My Ex-husband Has primary physical custody of our children. I have a court ordered visitation Which says that I have "periods of partial physical
custody"(I also have shared Legal custody) but my EX is refusing me that visitation and has been since Jan. 20th;my children went home that Sun. and I have not seen them since.

The reason he gives me for doing this has to do with the fact that my current husband was envolved in an accident and he was a victim of a crime.On Jan.19th my current husband was attempting to pick up a friend from work at midnight, he missed his turn so when he tried to turn around a black male walked out in front of him;while another black male attempted to rob him. My current husband was smart enough to drive off but in the process he was shot. We had to spend 14 days in the hospital.This has been investigated by local athorities and this is what did happen.He was just a VICTIM in this. But for some reason my EX feels that there is more to it than that.

He said I could see the children supervised but has not taken me to court. I
know that he is in contempt of court but I currently have no Lawyer. I want to know if I can have him charged with Parental abduction or Interference of my custodial rights. And if so how do I do that?

He is currently on State Parole and if he gets any new charges he goes back to prison. I even tried calling his PO,but got no response. I am concerned for my children they have made allegations of abuse against their step-mother in the past and I have not seen them to know that they are ok. And he will not even let me speak to the children on the phone unless he is listening,which that has only been one time since Jan. as well.

We both reside in PA and I need some help knowing the PA laws in regards to this.

I have been to both the courthouse where our previous order was ordered and also to legal services. All I get is a run around and I don't even know if my children are safe or not!

The father is on parole and managed to get primary physical custody? There must be an interesting story behind that.
Regardless, if he is not following the court ordered visitation schedule than you can file a case of contempt against him.
