What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illlinois
My oldest is 5yrs old and her father and I have not been together in almost 3years. After a one year abandonment he recently moved back but not to Illinois to Missouri. After he came back we verbally agreed that he could have our daughter every other weekend. 2 weekends ago he took her to Missouri and by Missouri Law he did not have to give her back even though she is a illinois resedent. My mother convenced him to release our daughter to her and she is now back home. My question is if he files to take me to court can he do it in Missouri (which seems not to be a women friendly state) or does he have to file in Illinois since that is where my self and my daughter is located?
