Re: Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act
Since I do not practice in your state and do not know its specific laws regarding parenting, take this with a grain of salt.
You can file a motion (in the court having jurisdiction) to enforce the parenting plan or visitation order. If the custodial parent's interference with your parent-child relationship is egregious enough, you might be successful in changing the child's residence to your home, but it will be a high hurdle to jump.
