Mother Left With Daughter

[arnie]

My ex wife remarried a guy in the military and they not as well extended ago moved out of state. I have joint custody of my 4 year old daughter with residential with the mom. We have not been to cout but for modification of custody and I got a text informing me the was leaving the subsequent day. I had not then nor do I now have any paperwork telling me exactly where they are going. I really feel like my daughter has been kidnapped. what can I do?

You can petition the court for emergency custody and possibly have the child forced back.  Have you an lawyer?  I'd get one specific.  And if he's in the military, they can discover him!

I'd file for custody asap. Mommy going out of state without your or the courts agreement most likely will not look great. The great news can be your condition has jurisidiction so mom is going to want to retain a lawyer exactly where you stand or fly back for courtroom. She can't just get-up and move.

Are there any restrictions in the custody agreement? If not you will probably have to have the court order her to inform you of the child's whereabouts. Youshould discuss this with your attorney.

Yes, its very important to take quick appropriate counter-measures---but get your facts and problems together first and examine a fight strategy with lawyer.
1. How much visitation do you've per order--how much do you typically use.(  Legalities apart-its difficult to complain about lack of anything you do not use.)
2. While is you next planned/permitted visitation? (A breach/refusal  by Mother  I'd believe affects her reliability -provides you with more appropriate influence?)
3. How a long way away may be the transfer (The surfaces will probalby not create the little one a human table tennis ball)
4.Are the colleges and atmosphere and your house etc better than at new area (what better for child could often be the driving power regarding who gets major custody).
5. You possibly have  main legal  high-ground as evidently Mother didn't provide you necessary notice to maneuver  and courts can force Mother to come back child for your condition pending the end result--but that doesn't declare they'll or should do so. One thinks some Mothers transfer first and plead forgiveness from surfaces later.
6. Thern again I'd NOT wait greater than a couple weeks covers -lest a new status-quo enter location which will be leveraged against you.  Some articles recommend that Mothers could be somewhat innovative to obtain protection from abuse orders in new state after they make it happen that essentially  stop administration and return of kid to initial legislation state.
7. It might be far from as easy as it says--far wiser to make use of counsel--SOON.
