Q: What can we do about a biomom who constantly takes the other parent's time?
My husband is the domiciliary parent. Kids go with biomom every other weekend during school and every other week over the summer. Last time we went to court was in 2018. Last judgement was that biomom was still under supervised visitation, however, our attorney at the time advised us to let them start going with out supervision bc she started getting better. Her situation did improve and her lifestyle is much better as far as we know. However she is still very spiteful and does not respect the custody agreement. One instance, she took one of our weekends and allowed our 7th grade daughter to attend a highschool dance without our knowledge and dress inappropriately. This last instance, the kids are supposed to be with her and she allowed someone else, her family friend, to take our daughter out of state for a week again without my husband's knowledge. Is there anything that can be done because biomom does this constantly. Thank you.
A: If the biomom is not abiding by the judgment in place then take her back to Court ask that she be found in contempt. That said, depending on all of the circumstances, biomom might also seek modification of the current judgment. I would contact a custody lawyer in your area and/or the attorney who handled the judgment in effect and consult with the pros and cons of each scenario. Good luck.
