What is the name of your state?Florida
We have court ordered shared custody and visitaion. The order was done in Jacksonville and the mother resided in Jacksonville. We reside two hours away. The problem is that the mother moved out of state without our knowledge, we were not told until the child came to visit, she never notified the court and when we asked for an address she gave it months later. Our court order states that we are to pick the child up from the mothers resident and she in return is to pick her up from ours. The resident listed in jacksonville for the mother. Are we legally obligated to travel out of state as the mother is suggesting? We had no notice of the move and the court was not notified. She is now intefering with our right to see the child. Help!!!!!!!!!!

mom is in big trouble

who is "we?" there is no "we" only the bio parent has any legal standing to do anything. and what they should do is file contempt charges against the op for failing to get permission to move, she could either be ordered to return the child, pay all cost of transportation, or lose custody to dad. that was a very bad idea on her part.

Problem is from my understanding mom moved months ago. She could always argue that dad said it was okay to move and just now is mad about it. Then you have a mess of he said she said. Who is the judge going to believe? Who actually has proof to back up their claims?

she could either be ordered to return the child, What the hell are you talking about? Nevermind, as usual, you can't read a post.


pay all cost of transportation, or lose custody to dad. Lose custody? Didn't you just say she would be ordered to return the child? Hell Kelly, God forbid if anyone listens to you on this site.

that was a very bad idea on her part. Actually, it is a bad idea on your part to be giving advice to anyone, at any time.

Carry on, off to your next unexpecting victim you go Kelly Abernathy.

Does the court order say anything about notification of new addresses, moving, etc? If it does, that will help the case alot. You can try telling mom that she has to bring the child to you. If that doesn't work you can file a contempt motion. go to www.flcourts.org/ click on family law forms to find the form and other info.

Since most states require relocation notice to either the NCP or the court or both IN WRITING and RETURN RECEIPT I'm thinking it'd be pretty easy to prove that no notice was given.
