Hi Crystal! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
Can i call the police if the other parent is not giving me back our child on time at the parent exchange
Hi Crystal! Yes, you can call the police if the other parent is not returning your child on time at the parent exchange. Generally, it's a good idea to have a copy of your custody order on hand to show the police.
Do you have a custody order in place?
Yes we do
It's good that you have a custody order in place. You can call the police to enforce the custody order if the other parent is not complying with it.
Is this a recurring issue or an isolated incident?
He is also late. But im here now waiting to get my child back and he said he would drop him off at my house because i would've extended the time
Crystal, if this is a recurring issue, you may consider documenting these instances and potentially pursuing legal action to modify the custody arrangement. For now, you can wait for him to drop off your child at your house and contact the police if he fails to do so. Is this the first time this has happened, or has it happened before?
Not the first time
If this is a recurring issue, you may want to consider documenting each instance in detail. This documentation can be useful if you decide to pursue legal action to modify the custody arrangement.
