What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I was divorced roughly 12 years ago. My ex-wife was given full custody, I was required to start paying child support, and given reasonable visitation rights.
About 3 years ago, my ex told me that she was moving 3 hours away to a different state with my daughter, who is now 13. She did this without notifying the State, using her mother's local address to conceal it. I didn't put up a fight because she assured me I would see my kid just as much as before, since her new boyfriend has kids who live here. It wasn't long before that situation changed, and if I wanted to see my daughter I had to make the drive there and back.
About two months ago, my daughter told me that she didn't consider me her dad anymore, and that I should not try to contact her. I have let it go for a while, but I'm tired of being misused. I have no contact with either my daughter or her mother. I still pay child support. What I want to do is force my daughter to spend time with me despite what she said, with the intention of eventually healing the breach.
What can I do??
Thanks in advance for your time.
