What is the name of your state? IL
My wife and I are separated, but had established a visitation schedule. Last Friday, she did not return our daughter and stated that her attorney was filing for divorce and wanted to wait until she had the child to insure that I would not withhold our daughter from her mother.
However, neither she nor her lawyer have filed anything. When asked about the situation, she said her mother called the lawyer's office and the secretary said it had been filed.
Do lawyers normally advise clients to refuse to let the other parent visit the child?
I doubt that there is any possibility her lawyer could forget to file the paperwork for a week, but want to be sure. Could that really happen?
I have an appointment with a lawyer on Thursday. Is there a possibility that our attorneys can work together to enforce the agreement we already have during the trial or will I have to file for temporary visitation?
