Question

my ex tool my daughter 4 1/2 yrs ago.. she told me she was going to the grocery store. she called three days later and said she was in seattle.when we did go to court, the court said i can get visiation but because she in another state they can not enforce her to let her see me so now im paying chid support on my daughter who i cant see... any advice on how i can fix this ..? im in tx .. shes in seattle

Answer 1

If you want to see her and her mother won't bring her to you, go to her!

Answer 2

Excuse me your EX told you they can't enforce it and you just took her word for it???? Wow she knew how to work you didn't she? If the court ordered visitation it has to be done. If she isn't willing to work with you TAKE HER BACK TO COURT. I can't belive you just sat there for 4 yrs...ridiculous And excuse me but your daughter IS one of your responsibilities...typical...you're trying to put the blame on your ex but your equally at fault. I dunno figure it out dude..

Answer 3

Im in tha TX and you probably know this but mr. gregg abbott is a d@#$.  unfotunatly men have very little rights in texas when it comes to their children. all tx does is make sure u are financially supporting your child and if the mom wont let you see them them u have to pay lawyer and court yada yada. and that is hard supporting a family and pay support. even if child was still here. Yet thaa woman gets free services and has to pay for nothing. What happened to the best intrest of the child? it's all bout tha money. I am a woman also but somthing needs to be done about child visitation here in tha TX.

Answer 4

Okay, why would she be arrested if she returned to Texas? And where did you have your first court date? 6 months establishes residency so she has that. You should ask for a hearing in Seattle to reduce your support and establish a visitation schedule. Your daughter is not to young to fly . The airlines provide an escort to meet her at every stop and make sure she gets safely to her destination. You should have summers and school vacations such as spring break and every other major holiday. But you have to go to court and ask for it to be put on paper.

I hate women who do this to daddy's and their children. They make the rest of us look bad.

Answer 5

How can this possibly be legal?

Answer 6

good god thats effin horrible. Im sorry for that. I would track her down and take her to court again. Keep paying child support too because one it will look good on you and two hopefully shes actually using it for your daughter. Any court should sympathise with you and if not thats pretty lame. I would die for my daughters dad to want to do something. And keep records of anything and everything that does happen. get a notebook and date and time it everytime you write something that happens. when you talk to them when you talk to the courts and just EVERYTHING about the situation. the courts will look at it all ive done that. hope it helps and i hope you get to see your daughter soon ohhhh and i just thought about it if you are court ordered child support she has to do legal stuff with friend of the court and pay like 100 i think it is for certain papers i moved out of state with my first daughter and her father is court ordered child support i couldnt just leave. i dont know if its different in texas but thats how it is in michigan

Answer 7

You say they'll arrest her if she comes back, why can't they arrest her in seattle? If she has a warrant out for her arrest then she should be able to be arrested in another state. Have you tried telling the police there that your ex has a warrant out for her arrest?

Answer 8

she is YOUR daughter. you brought her into this world. set down the rules and say ur coming to see her, u miss her. go to her. dont let her talk u out of it either.
