Re: family law
As a general rule, yes; it will. I am assuming that the "custody agreement" you refer to is actually a court order from a Maine court. All states are required to recognize the Maine Judgment. Specifically, the law is called the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA). Your ex will be subject to the requirements of your Judgment, provided that Maine has been the residence of your daughter for the past six months prior to the visit with her father.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
