Re: Dismissal of Court Date

Greetings -

The court where you got your divorce is the court

that is still in charge even if you have moved out of state. Therefore, you are going to have

to deal with dad where he has filed, namely the

state where you got the divorce. It is best to

get a lawyer to handle this. Even if he is behind in child support, the court will consider

the issue of visitation and/or custody a whole

different matter. There is a three step approach

to dealing with this situation. I will be happy

to answer any additional questions that you may

have.
