Q: Joint custody 50/50 mother is primary residence, refuses to give address to father. Is this contempt of court?
Mother filed request to relocate children to Mississippi last year, in November judge ordered when she moved children stay with father with long distance visitation with mother. Mother has commuted back and forth week on week off. Her house in Oklahoma sold in May. In June she filed another request to modify and move children stating current visitation is detrimental to children’s mental health. She had taken them to counseling twice at that point and now plans to use that in court. However, she has refused to give father any address for the children other than a P.O. Box. She stated she would be vacationing during her parental time all summer and renting a house in Oklahoma in July. Kids have said they stay at moms rent house since school started in August but give no details. Recently discovered there is no house and that she and the kids stay in hotels and rental cabin during her parenting time a couple of days here and there. Should new court order have taken effect?
A: It depends on if your court order requires her to provide the address. Best thing you can do is hire an attorney to help you.
A:
She probably is, but it depends on the specifics of the joint custody plan. You should consult an experienced Family Law Attorney, in your area, for help with this problem.
