Non-custodial parent won't return child... Update

I wanted to repost just to fill people in since Monday. I have spoken to CPS on many occasions, both here and in his home state. I have also spoken to my lawyer, and my lawyer has communicated with his lawyer to fill him in since my ex didn’t tell him about anything that happened prior to the case he reported. My ex has tried to enroll our daughter in school, which isn’t legal, and he will not let me speak to her or return any of my texts, despite the recommendations from his lawyer, my lawyer, and CPS. The responding officer has agreed to testify to the conditions he saw in the home as well. The CPS agent also confirmed that the bruising isn’t consistent with any type of abuse. The forensic interview was done at about 3 PM on Friday, and now we are waiting for the results to be sent to the CPS agent here. I am worried he was coaching her again, but I’m trying to stay hopeful because she is resilient, and I hope she will be honest with the detective despite any coaching. CPS seems to be very aware of what’s going on but wants to strictly follow protocol. Her therapist is on call for whenever she’s home and needs to talk. Thank you all for the advice and well wishes, and fingers crossed that things are resolved on Monday.

It sounds like you’re doing everything right. Document everything and keep records of your communications. A judge will look for patterns of behavior.

I’ve been keeping detailed notes, so I hope that helps my case.

It’s good that CPS is involved. They’ll have the resources to look into any allegations and ensure your daughter’s safety.

Exactly. I trust they’ll do a thorough job.

Proving retaliation and parental alienation can be tough, but having evidence like your documented concerns and the officer’s observations can help.

That’s what I’m hoping for. I just want to ensure my daughter is safe and happy.

Make sure to highlight the emotional impact on your daughter as well. Judges often consider how the situation affects the child.

I will definitely emphasize that during any proceedings.

Stay strong. Remember that you’re advocating for your child’s well-being. That’s what matters most.
