What is the name of your state? Ohio
My wife and I gained full custody of my daughter from my ex back in Dec 04 in Indiana. We live in Ohio and travelled to Ft. Wayne, IN for court. At the time, I was told after court that even though I was granted full custody, we would have to wait a month or so for the interstate compact with Ohio to go through before I could bring her back to Ohio permanently.
That was 7 months ago, and they keep giving me the run around! The case managers continue changing in my daughters case and they never know what exactly is happening with it. Im getting to the boiling point here and am about ready to simply keep her here in Ohio (I get 2 week visits). What can they do? I have FULL CUSTODY! If anyone here has any advice, PLZ feel free to share. Im tired of having to hear her say "Daddy, I want to stay here with you" and theres nothing I can do but say "I know honey, soon, I promise". I am also paying close to 500 dollars a month in support and do not owe any arrearage, even though I supposedly have full custody.
And my daughter has been in foster care for well over a year, and her mother did not fight or even try to fight me in court. I did everything the court asked within a month, she did nothing the court asked at all in the whole year it took for me to finally gain custody.
If any one can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
