First, you need to make all efforts you can to find her, even if that means hiring a private investigator to locate her.
Second, if she is not abiding by the order, then you need to file a motion and order to show cause to bring to the courts attention the fact that she is is not abiding by the order. The court will enforce the temporary order it has entered.
I wish you the best of luck.

you can prove she is withholding, I would think this would weigh alot in your favor of getting your child. Any parent who does this is committing child abuse in my book… But I am not a lawyer, just a father stung by the same insect…
good luck and I hope this resolves for the best interest of the children, to be with both parents as much as possible…

send her a complaint for custody to the last know address, at the same time do service by publication , and file with the court for sole custody due to the current situation if she dosent respond then the court should rule in your favor … due to her faliure to appear then you are able to get the law on you side a little bit … Hope this works for ya it sucks but you are not alone in this type of mess !!
Are you asking about the form for affidavit of service by publication, or another form?

There is a temporary custody order in place, about to expire. According to the order, I have visitation every other month, plus weekly communication with our child.
I am paying court-ordered child support.
The ex moved out of NC, has not yet established residency in the new state she is living in (still has NC tags on her vehicle, has not updated her contact information with WCCS) and refuses to tell me where they are residing. I do have a cell phone number for her, but she is not taking my calls or returning my voice mails or emails. I have not spoken to my son in over a month.
My next visitation is coming up in the next couple of weeks and I am very concerned that she will further ignore the order and deny my visitation.
I have spoken to several attorneys in NC and none of them have expressed any interest at all in taking the case due to the simple fact that there is no current address for her.
Are there any other options? I cannot believe for a moment that there is such a huge loophole in the law that would allow this.
