Parenting exchange

What do you do when you have an Temp. Custody order that states parents exchange address, and the picking up parents hasn’t giving you that information, and is supposed to pick up the child, leaving the other parent not knowing where the child will be? Help… tis is my situation today.

If one parent is refusing to provide his/her address and it is required to be shared in the court order, and the other parent misses custodial time due to the parent’s refusal to share that information, then the other parent can file a motion for show cause/motion for contempt against the parent refusing to share their address as this would likely be a willful violation of the court order.
