My step children live with my husband and I with visitations on wed. and every other weekend with their mother. neither want to go but my 14 yr old son does so there is no fight. My 17 yr. old has always had a very distant relationship with her biological mother. Always fighting times of running away and calling us to get her. My husband says he could go to jail for picking her up when court papers say she is to be with her mother.
My daughter has not seen her mother for a month and a half ( approx. ). They got into a fight the mother called us to pick her up. Since then the mother has moved all my daughters belongings into the garage and requested her to "call and make arrangments to schedule an appointment to pick up her stuff". My daughter has tried to get her stuff once but it was not convienient with the mother so she said NO ! Now her mother calls and tells my husband that she has to be told that it is legal documented schedule and she has to go to her mothers for visitation. Our daughter tells us she will run away if she goes.. her mom says she will report her as a run away... HOW CAN WE KEEP HER SAFE ? DOES SHE HAVE ANY VOICE IN THE MATTER BEING 17 ? ARE WE IN CONTEMPT OF COURT FOR NOT MAKING HER GO ?
