WTF? No One Takes Dads Seriously?

Francesca's picture

So, we found out SO's kids were in school today. BM still not answering phone.

At the police department they said "Oh, we see this all the time, BM's holed up in a motel somewhere." The school said, "they aren't really missing, they were in school on Wednesday and Thurs. and Fri. school was closed."

School tells him to get a visitation order.

I'm just perplexed.

Well has she actually withheld his visitation yet? Or is he just upset because she isn't answering the phone? Without a court order, she really doesn't have to answer his calls, and there really isn't anything the police can do about it. If nobody has a custody order in place, he can go pick up the kids from school and there's nothing she can do about it, but then again she can do the same thing. This is why it's really important to get this stuff in writing, especially when dealing with someone like BM who you can't really coparent with without the aid of a court order. Otherwise your DH literally has no power.
