Custody agreement not court ordered

Unless there is a court order that prevents him from doing so, he can go to the school and remove the child when it is not his custodial time. However, if he did so, it might entitle you to an emergency custody order. If you believe there is abuse going on in his home, you should not sign a custody order at this time, rather you should wait to see what kind of proof you can get regarding abuse in his home.

Thank you Helena. The school is actually telling me that since it’s in our parenting agreement and it has been signed and notarized, that they are not allowed to let him pick our son up. We shall see I guess. As for the abuse, I am working on that one already. Collecting evidence if you will.

You’re welcome.

We have been seperated for a year now and we have a seperation agreement that does include our custody arrangements. There is concern that there is abuse going on in his Father’s house possibly at the hand of his Dad’s g/f. She abuses her own kids and this has been seen publically. With the custody arrangement not court ordered yet, what can he legally do?? Can he come take the child out of school when it isn’t his visitation time?? And if the custody arrangements become court ordered how much harder will it be for me to get full custody once we get the proof we need that there is abuse going on in his house??
