This past weekend, my kids (13M and 10F) were with their dad for visitation, but they ended up at his mother-in-law’s house because of an argument. My daughter, who has severe scoliosis, had to sleep on a couch, and my son slept on the floor. Our order clearly states he can’t have the kids at another residence without my permission. When I asked him why he didn’t inform me, he said it wasn’t my business. Now, my daughter is complaining of back pain. I’m worried this will happen again. What should I do?
You should document everything. Take note of your daughter’s pain and the conditions they were in. This could be important if you need to go back to court.
You need to confront him about violating the order. It’s serious, and you might need to consult a lawyer to address this behavior.
It’s definitely concerning. Have you thought about discussing this with a family lawyer? They can help you understand your options.
This is a clear violation of your custody agreement. You should notify your lawyer and consider filing a complaint.
Make sure you keep a record of any communications with him regarding this. It’ll be crucial if this escalates.
You might want to consider modifying the custody arrangement if he continues to disregard the rules. Protecting your kids is the priority.
If your daughter is in pain, you should take her to a doctor. Document her condition and any medical advice you receive.
You have every right to be concerned. I would recommend contacting a lawyer to discuss your options moving forward.
This is serious. Make sure you’re protecting your kids and get legal advice as soon as possible.
Definitely document everything that happened, especially if it affects your daughter’s health. You might need that for a court case.
