    Sorry, I have custody of my son in Mississippi and his father jumped up and moved to Florida 700 miles away and has not paid child support in 3 months and dropped insurance. He now wants us to meet him halfway. Do I have to or does the problem fall on him since he was the one who moved away. The papers say we have to meet half way but the address on the papers are 40 miles apart and not 700.

    (I'll re-phrase) I'm certainly no lawyer, but under the current order the halfway mark of 20 miles stands. (I apologize for the unfinished thought and I thank This8384 for bringing it to my attention)

    When the order was written, you were 40 miles apart. 20 miles is half way, so he or you will have to petition the court for an adjustment to the order.

    Meeting halfway is one thing when you live in the same state - he moved across state lines, so the current order isn't going to work and needs to be amended. Either he or you need to file to have it amended so that he can still exercise his visitation rights.

    Does your court order state that he is required to keep insurance on the child?

    Please stop posting gibberish like this on the law board.

    In one post, you told her she needed to travel halfway and then proceeded to tell her she didn't have to travel at all. That's bogus and totally out of place in this forum.

    The order needs to be amended; the father will most likely be given summers as visitation barring any issues.

    Yes he is required to carry insurance and we actually had court this morning but he played a stall tactic and hired his lawyer this morning who just happened to be in court in another county and it is not like him and his lawyer didn't know because he is the same lawyer he had in the divorce and the same one we sent the contempt order to because of him not paying child support and dropping insurance
