Ok, long story short - X-wife left today and will be out of the country for the next 14 days - we have joint custody and she has physical custody of our 13 and 8 yr old girls.Initially she planned to give me a full list of who would be keeping the children and when,however what she left me with was 2 #'s 1 of which appears disconnected,the other no one answers.I have no idea if anyone is caring for my children,or if they are going to be cared for intermittently,if someone will be spending the nights with them etc etc etc.
Initially I was told someone would be there in the evenings around 7pm or so to look after them,they get home from school via bus around 3pm,I didnt like this plan and said as much to my x but didnt push things on it trying to keep a level head about myself,hoping she would provide me with the proper info before she left, but alas that hasnt happened.
So now what? Do I go and get my children and bring them here? I live an hour away and would not be able to get them to school and back,I would have no choice but to register them here.
My wife and I are prepared to seek full custody of the children,and in fact planned to do so,but on our own time table.Now I feel like I have to take action to ensure my children are properly cared for.
As my post was titled we live in NC, and on the net I have found nothing to support me legally,from everything I've found its perfectly fine in nc for a 13yr old to care for an 8yr old.
Any advice???
Another note,I have calls in to two attorneys in the area,one is away for the next 3 days, the other I wont here from any sooner than tommorow or weds...I am at my wits end here...
Thanks, Stresseddad
