What is the name of your state? VA.
We've been given advice here. I'm writing because my son is running around in VA. trying to get some resolution ~ some JUSTICE. He called & asked me to post & ask for advice.
Jacob has Joint Custody of his son, with Shared Physical Custody. He lives in VA., jurisdiction of child is in VA. Mom lives in AZ. Exchange of son was supposed to be on June 14. (I flew out to AZ to get him by Court Order). Mom didn't show up. Police did a "welfare check" of her house & a family member said that she & baby went to CO. to visit family... A custodial interference report was taken in AZ. & the following day Jacob filed contempt charges & modification of custody in VA. We do not have a phone number or address for the babys mom... Court was this morning. Judge said that babys mom did not sign for court papers, sent to her last know address in AZ. So Jacob needs to get a process server & have her "served". Until he does, Judge says he can do nothing...
The Detective in Arizona investigating the case DOES have address for babys mom but says she can't share it. Isn't that special. We honestly do not know WHERE baby is, Jacob hasn't talked to him since May 20th; this is a direct violation of the custody order.
Right now Jacob & his Daddy are at the police station trying to file kidnapping charges on babys mom. They are heading to Legal Aid next ~ under the Domestic Violence statute; using the grounds of emotional & physchological abuse. I told him to get a restraining order on babys mom too, with his son included as a victim. They will head back to court house afterwards, I think. Jacob will be checking in & out with me. So please. What can we do right now to get this thing going??? Please help!
Thank you.
