Re: child custody
This is a complicated situation. Do you have any idea what state the ex-wife lives in and other information which would allow you to find the child.
Generally, then you would have to go the the Court in the County where the visitation was order and have the ex-wife held in contempt.
There are laws whereby states will work together to honor the decisions on visitation from other states but it may be a long and expensive proposition.
If you have further details please feel free to send me your e-mail address with more facts regarding the situation.
Re: child custody
You should file a petition seeking contempt for failing to allow visitation (all orders are specific enough for that) and demanding a parenting plan.
