Found out the law She doesn't have a leg to stand on in the matter of me putting her in the front seat. I checked out the laws at the RI DMV site and I called the police station twice to confirm the law. They said that a child age 4-8 can sit in the front seat as long as the seat belt is across...

I do have front seat air bags. But she doesn't know that she never came out and looked in my car. I just wasn't sure of the age requirements. It is not like I intended on endangering my child.

Jurisdiction??? I know there are other things taken into consideration other than the 6 month rule. Like there is a "clean hands" act where the other state can refuse to take the case based on the fact of the other parent skipping state w/o knowledge of the other parent to get jurisdiction and...

I won't give up I will continue in my fight and see which way the judge decides on jurisdiction then base my actions on that. Because there is a chance RI will retain jurisdiction. Yeah she wasn't here for a full 6 months it was about 5 1/2 and she never contested anything in court about what...
