Q: How long does my ex have to report her temporary living arrangements? My kids said they are living in a Hotel.
The kids have stated about a month ago that they had to leave their duplex due to bed bug treatment. They have not been back home since. Ive asked their mom every week to tell me the name & address of hotel and temp residents but she has not replied back to my emails. They start school soon. I am concerned with them getting enough sleep when they are in a hotel room with two adults who watch tv at night and have to eat at fast food every day for meals? As a father Ive had issues with her communicating until I take her to court.
A: There is no set rule as to disclosing an address. If your orders require her to give you this information and she is not doing so, you certainly have options, such as contempt of court. As relates to whether her living situation is damaging to the kids such that a court might make a change in parenting time, you should consult with an attorney, as more information is needed. A temporary situation alone may not be enough for the court to get too concerned unless you can prove serious safety or neglect issues.
