not legal advice

i know some of the others will rip me for this but here it goes anyway...
if i were in the type of situation you are in(and i am sort of)...i recomend risking the contempt charge(its sometimes worth it rather than risking your childs safety) and file for a modification to clearly order that he provide you with all the proper info and that he provide proof of it being correct before he be alowed to have visatation

good luck...it sounds like you need it

I understand your reasoning, but it won't make any difference in COURT as to why you waited. They make cell phone specifically for vey young children now. They have only 3-5 buttons and only allow calls from the phone numbers that YOU progam into the phone to be made and received. If the child wants to call mom, they push the button with the picture of the woman on it.They are also passcode protected, so you don't have to worry about anyone tampering with the numbers you progam the phone to work with.

ceara19 - There was no reason for me to care where he lives until now. I didn't care where he lived, or the fact that he even lives for that matter. Attorneys are expensive thus the reason I didn't take him back to court for each violation. It matters NOW because my child is involved and he will be there at his address. It has nothing to do with stopping visitation. Did I say I had PROOF he was dealing drugs - NO!!! But how can I report a suspicion of it to CPS unless I know where he lives? Read below and I'll explain more.

nicetryadmin - Please stop being ridiculous by disecting posts. You are not helping anyone by acting like a complete jerk. Please do not respond to my posts if you cannot be respectful.

Why is he a deadbeat dad? He owes me $17K in back child support, which has nothing to do with his current address. Let me explain to make A VERY LONG STORY SHORT: I knew the man for 14 YEARS, I know who he is hanging out with up there, and I know what they are into, and I know what he was doing behind my back for years and years.

He has money, but has NO JOB! Friends of friends have seen him around my city for visits driving a BRAND NEW VEHICLE PULLING A JETSKI, and I don't receive a DIME of CS. I am not using that as an excuse to DENY visitation! As a mother, I have learned to trust my instincts because they have always been right. Even more reason for me to be afraid of what my child will be exposed to, why do you think I'm concerned?

nicetryadmin - are you saying you wouldn't be concerned if there was suspicion of drug use and dealings? What kind of a parent ARE YOU!?!?!! ANY PARENT WHO LOVES THEIR CHILD WOULD BE CONCERNED FOR THEM!
He can HAVE his visit, but I need an address so I can have the state check on my son's well being, and a PHONE NUMBER to exercise my right to one phone call per day, and also for emergencies.

His sister is listed as the contact person in our divorce decree, because he was convicted of stalking me and terroristic threats. She contacted me that he wants his visit. I have no way to contact him for an address, so why wouldn't I contact her?

OK, here is the EXACT WORDING from my Decree:
"It is ordered that sole managing conservator (ME) has the right to receive information from the other parent concernting the health, education and welfare of the children. It is ordered that (HIM) shall notify this court (ME) by US certified mail, return receipt requested of any change of address or termination of employment within 7 days"


The phone is a good idea, I wish I could send him with a phone, but he is 7 years old and a special ed child. He does not know how to use a phone and has to take several medications just to function. His father would dispose of it and he would forget he even had a phone, if I could even teach him how to use it. :-(

We have used all kinds of searches to find the address, no luck.
Psssst, hey over here look...... try the department of motor vehicles. If he owns a car it has to have a tag on it. If he owns the jetski he had to have it registered.

One question also. Does the order have your name in parenthesis where you have (me) stated or does it just say notify the court? If it just says the court then thats all he has to do. You are not the court.

I guess I missed what the visitation for Dad was and why you have to let him go..I assume spring break is one of his times?

Maybe he has a girlfriend and it is her car and jet ski..or a friend's.

Yes, he is legally entitled per the decree. As far as the truck and jetskis, both are registered to his mother's address in his name.
He's good at covering his tracks.
