Suwanee, GA asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Georgia

Q: Can my daughter’s dad take our daughter over state lines?

Reside in GA. History of a TPO against my daughter’s dad. He is threatening to physically take our daughter to Texas where he moved to. He is also threatening to take me back to court to take her there as well. We have a court order in place he gets video chats 3 times a week for 10 min. And Sunday for a day visit and that’s it. He also refused to take a drug test and even if he did he would get Saturday day visit added on. He is very abusive and narcissistic. Can he take our daughter over state lines? We were never married. Please help. I constantly get harassed by him it’s just nonstop. Any advice would be appreciated. I thought about filing for the TPO again but he is in a different state so I don’t think I can do that. Thank you for any help.

A: If you have a court order in place regarding parenting time, that is what should be followed. If he does not follow it, you can file for contempt.
