Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
The non-custodial parent and I have a court ordered visitation schedule. Two years ago we both agreed in writing outside of court to change the location where we exchange our daughter. This new place has been working fine for two years. He informed me last night that he will no longer be meeting me where we agreed in writing and will meet me at the place of the original court order. I do not agree to this change. Legally, do I have to go back to meeting him at the original location since we have a written agreement that has been in place for 2yrs? The court was notified of the new place in Feb 2009 verbally at a visitation case we had to attend, and the judge said he was proud of us for working it out outside of court. If he is not at the agreed upon location do I have any options such as contacting the police, or will they make me meet him at the old location per the original court order? I have copies of both the original court order as well as the written agreement we made outside of court. My daughter and I reside in NC (for the past 4yrs) and he lives in VA. The court order was from VA.

You will need to go back to court and get the matter clairifed in the
form of a written order of the court(in my opinion).
Furthermore, if I were you, I would forget about contacting the police
and doing written modifications of court orders on your own outside
of court in order to avoid the situation described.
