ALABAMA
Background:
I am the mother of a three year old girl and have physical custody. My ex-husband has visitation at his home every other weekend from Friday to Sunday. We both live in the state of Alabama in cities that are approximately 100 miles apart.
Issue:
My ex-husband sent me a letter a year ago stating that his address would be changing due to his decision to relocate to a city approximately 40 miles away. At the time, I had no objections to the move.
Six months ago, I sent a letter to him at the address that he had provided, and it was returned to me by the post office. When I called the local post office to find out why the letter was returned, I was told that the residence at that address was vacant. The property is owned by my ex-husband's family, but the postman was adamant that no one had lived there in some time.
I believed that a mistake must have been made, so I called my ex-husband to confirm his residence address. He confirmed that the address that he had given me was correct.
A few weeks later, after our daughter returned from her father's home, she told me that her father lived with two other "guys." I explained to her that she must be mistaken and that they were probably just friends that had come over to visit. She told me, "No. They have beds at Daddy's house." She also added that her father does not even live in the city that he claims, but instead, lives in the city where he resided before the supposed relocation.
I believe that my ex-husband has given me a false address because he is living with other men, and our custody agreement specifically states that he may not live with or have overnight company that is not immediate family when he is exercising his visitation. I am extremely concerned for our daughter's welfare if she is spending the night in a home with men that are strangers to me.
(Side note: I have never driven our daughter to meet her father for visitation because our agreement states that he is responsible for all transportation.)
Question:
How do I confirm the true residential address for my ex-husband? How do I further investigate the living situation to ensure that our daughter is not in a potentially dangerous environment when she is with her father?
Thank you in advance for your help.
