I have full physical custody of my daughter for the past two years. Her mom has visitation every other Monday to Wednesday, Monday at * o’clock till Wednesday at * o’clock. She’s on the way into town right now and she’s refusing to tell me where she’s gonna be staying at tonight. She’s not allowed to take my daughter out of Hampton roads if she arrives late do I have to let her to take her tonight?
