His dad has since moved our son to New Mexico without even telling me. What can I do

answered on Nov 25, 2022
You can probably regain visitation but one would have to review the file and the rulings that are in place. Additionally, the case may have to be litigated going forward in New Mexico under the UCCJA.

If you have been paying child support to the other parent, ensure you have statements of proof (bank statements, money transfer app statements, etc). A parent is finically responsible for their child. CPS involvement does not change that.

Continue case to December 16, 2022, to see if any progress has been taken towards
finalization of this case. If not the Court reserves the right to dismiss the case without

It means the lawyer is removed from the case. The case is continued to 12/16/22 for review of finalization. If not finalized, the court may dismiss the case. If the father currently has custody, he retains such until December.
