I live in Montana. My child is sick. Our original parenting plan was made before she was a year old. I want to redo this parenting plan now that she’s older but my child’s baby mama is not making that an easy task. in the parenting plan states that withholding and limiting visitation is unnecessary and she has been limiting my ability to see my child recently because I am now married. I need to make sure I can be a part of my child’s life so I can keep a better watch on her due to concerns about her mother’s mental health. I have a video of my five-year-old daughter telling me in detail about how her mom had a gun and tried to kill herself what moves should I make next and what steps should I take?
