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.
You need to return to the court that issued the order and present your new circumstances to ask for a modification (change).
please help
I’m not sure if your case is still pending or if your case has concluded. However, you can reach out to an attorney for a consultation and explain your legal issue more in-depth. Good Luck!
If your court order on timesharing is from Florida then you must return to court in Florida and prove to the court that it is in the child's best interest to relocate to Georgia. The court will consider numerous factors including each parent's financial ability and home situation.
won't send it to me b/c they are saying that they don't have record of my name change. How can I go about obtaining my birth certificate so that I can renew my driver's license?
