Q: I moved to Co about 6 months ago with my daughter from another state. Ex was fine with it until he requested every break
I didn't agree to all of the breaks because I dont want her being tossed back and forth. Of note, he and his family have unrestricted communication with her via ipad. Additionally, he doesn't provide for his daughter. Yesterday I was served paper work from the state we first filed in 2015. 1. He doesn't pay any child support. 2. My daughter is very happy and excelling here emotionally and physically. What should I do?
A: One issue is whether that state still has jurisdiction over the custody issue. It may if he still lives there. It will not have jurisdiction if neither parent lives there. If that state has jurisdiction, it can make a decision in the best interest of the child. It is essential that you respond to the papers you received. It would be best if you retained n attorney there to assist you.
