Q: What action can I take to get back daughter that I have full custody of ?
My daughter is 15. I have full
Custody of her. The court ordered visitation specifies that her dad gets to see her for 1 hr a week in my home. My home is currently in Oregon her dad is in Ohio. The court order is from when we all lived in Ohio. I allowed her to spend 3 weeks with him in Ohio . Now that it’s time for her to come
Home he is acting like he isn’t going to give her back. What can I do?
A: Did your custody order allow you to move out of state with the child without the father’s agreement or court permission? That would be unusual. You can file for contempt in Ohio in the county where the agreement was filed.
