Re: return of daughter
Your best option is to go get your daughter, and bill him for the expense. If the court has ordered that he return her to you, then the expense of the return belongs to him. By the way, when you say your daughter's money, are you referring to child support? If so, then he is wrong, that money is not her money, and it is for her care and well-being, even if she is in austin for the summer. It is not spent to satisfy his obligations.
