divorce and custody case from the state of Kansas. Custodial parent moved without permission into Iowa. Did not know where he or children were for many years, just recently in the last few days mother found out the daughter and her father are living in a town in Iowa. Daughter is 17 and does not want to live with father. In fact daughter may not be living with father now, but may be living with another family. She-daughter wants to live with Mother in Kansas. Can daughter just leave Iowa and then go live with mother in Kansas, where the divorce and custody is on file. this is all new, and sketchy, seems there are some problems in the daughter's life, she is currently in some sort of "alternative highschool" with about 20 other students. As mentioned, this is just brand new information. Help! Each day brings a little more information, this is hard to explain due to complexity. Can Mother and daughter agree, and mother travel to Iowa pick up daughter and bring her back to live with her. Daughter definitely does want this to happen!
