Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Re: Court Decree in Indiana

You first need to make clear to her that you are not and will not agree to any deviation of the court order. Next advise her that should she fail to return the child as ordered, that you will contact the police to have the child returned.(be sure you have a copy of the order for the police.)

You must also be ready to pursue enforcement of this order in court and let her know you will do so. Her continued failure to comply with the order will result in she being held in contempt of court. This means she could be held liable for attorney fees you have incurred as well as a modification of the order which may mean supervised visitation for her when with the child.

Remember, when dealing with such a person you must follow through with what ever you state you will do.

Re: Court Decree in Indiana

I would suggest that you (1) contact an attorney and be prepared to take immediat action; (2) take no action until the order is violated, and (3) once the order is violated to file for a contempt and a request for writ of assistance and/or emergency hearing. Since you have an order giving you physical custody, I would expect the court to order the sheriff to assist you in obtaining custody of your daughter. Alternative - self help if you know where you could get your daughter without a physical confrontation
