Hi Amanda! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
I have */* split custody with dad, court order states that if he takes child out of state he is obligated to inform me of her whereabouts. Addresses and confirmation she gets to her destinations safe and sound. He has now more than once taken her out of state on his custodial time without saying anything to me and he blocks all communication until she is back in our state
It sounds like he might be violating the court order. Here are a few steps you can consider:
- Document each incident, noting dates and lack of communication.
- Consider contacting a family law attorney for advice.
- You may file a motion in family court for enforcement of the custody order.
Would you like more information on how to proceed legally?
