Q: If my Childs father does not give her back on aggreged upon date can I call the cops?
Father is on the birth certificate but my daughter has been with me for all 5 years of her life. No custody or parenting plan is in place. I'm allowing her to go visit for 2 days. If he decides to keep her can I call the cops? He does not pay child support and there is nothing in the courts that says we share time with the child. I'm scared i won't be helped at all if i let her go and he does not bring her back to me.
A: If you are this concerned then you should not let her go until you have a court order. Legally you have all the rights based on what you say but that won't automatically stop him from refusing to return the child. Make him go to court if he wants timesharing and have him pay child support as well.
