Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Both parents are move-aways...visitiation

I have sole legal and physical custody of my daughter in VA. I moved her to NC (my husband is active duty military) with the permission of her biological father. He has never been involved in her life, but pushed for visitation and I was found responsible for transportation. He and I agreed on reduced child support in exchange for his help with transportation. Now, two years later he has only provided transportation twice. He has moved out of Virginia to North Carolina. Am I still responsible for his visitation transportation? Oh, and he quit his job to move and has yet to find another one. He knew he owed me $500 for an orthodontic bill and did not paythat before the move either, and he did not notify anyone of the move.

Re: Both parents are move-aways...visitiation

You are still responsible for obeying the terms of the relevant court order or decree which governs your case and which ordinarily does not include casual agreements of the parties unless permitted under the terms of the order or decree.

If you and your former husband are now both residing in N. Carolina, you might want to consider retaining a N. Carolina attorney to

register your Virginia order/decree(assuming that the Commonwealth was the state of original jurisdiction))in the appropriate court in N. Carolina which would allow you to file for enforcement and or revisions on your own without the need for attorney involvement.
