What is the name of your state? OR
My wife and I of 8 years (married in NV) moved from Washington State (3-years) to Oregon. We lived in Oregon for 6-months and she took our child (5-years old) and moved to Alaska to be with her boyfriend. I’m still in Oregon and she is still in Alaska (7-months).
She went 2-months denying me phone conversations with my son. I finally heard from her boyfriend who told me that he was now the child’s dad and I would not be allowed to speak to him. I called her and left a message telling her that it was time I simply moved to Alaska so I didn’t have to rely on her to answer the phone when I called so I could speak to my boy. She called right back and told me she would let me talk to him the next day.
I called the next day and my son got on the phone and said “I love you, Ray”. I asked why he didn’t call me “dad” and he said “mom says I have a new dad and you are now Ray”. I let him know that I will always be his Dad and that I wanted him to call me dad. I could hear his mom in the background telling him to call me “Ray”.
So, here are a few questions:
1) Is there anything that can be done to get her to stop telling my son these things?
2) What state has jurisdiction over our marriage? Custody?
3) She has threatened to keep moving from state to state to keep me from seeing my son. Can I do anything about this?
4) She will not provide me with an address to send letters, gifts, etc.
