This will be a rather lengthly, ongoing, post so I intend to break it up into different parts.
Quick background info: I have a court ordered 50/50 shared legal and physical child custody agreement for my 3 year old son between me and the ex-girlfriend. The court order specifically states that written notification must be provided 60 days in advance if either party is moving outside a 50 mile radius of the current address. Also, the party moving must schedule a custody hearing before moving. If you need more details, contact me.
So 2 weeks ago the ex-girlfriend hand delivers to me a small typed document stating her and my son are moving to Williamsport, PA with her new address during an exchange of our son. The letter is not signed, nor is there an effective date of the address change.
I go home and check out the address on google maps to find the address is 80+ miles away from her current residence. I quickly contact her to remind her of the court order details regarding moving, she feeds me a line of excuses as to why she is not following the court order. This isn't the first time she notified me of her intent to move (different address, different time) and never actually moved. I don't hear anymore regarding the move, so I wait.
Two weeks later, I arrive at her residence to exercise my visitation rights and she's not there. I call her and she informs me that she is at her new address in Williamsport. I can't describe how angry and upset I felt. She blatantly broke a civil court order and I'm losing time with my son because of it. After communicating my frustration and anger about the situation over the phone with her, I head home to brainstorm about what to do next.
