What is the name of your state? IN

Mail has been returned stamped by the post office "UNNKOWN ADDRESSEE" twice. The NCP says he still lives at the same address as always but with mail returned by the post office am I lead to believe he is not. Do I still let our child go with him for visitation while waiting for our court date in August?
 


Yes, you still have to send them for visitation. You can address the issue at your hearing in August, because it's highly unlikely that you could get a hearing prior to that, unless you get an emergency ex parte order.

That depends on whether or not there are existing court orders for visitation.

You absolutely should not deny all visitation between dad and the child, but you do have the right to have a valid address for dad....one that can be verified. If mail is being returned "unknown addressee" then obviously the address you have for him is not a good one.

In fact, if you are ordered to follow the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines then his requirement to provide you a valid address and phone number are spelled out quite clearly.

In any case, if there are no existing orders then you are perfectly free to insist that he visit in your presence until such time that he gives you a verifiable address. If there are existing court orders, you can still attempt the same, but there is some risk that you would be found in contempt...however he would as well. In that scenario the most common practice for an Indiana judge would be to either give both of you a stern lecture, or for both of you to recieve a fine.
