Can a court force my daughter to meet her bio dad?
I am the proud mother of a very mature 13 yr old. She hasn't seen her bio dad since she was maybe 4, and before that doesn't remember him at all since seeing him was very sporadic. There is a visitation plan that simply required he contact me 24 hrs in advance of him wanting to visit. This happened once, about 7 yrs ago but then he was busy and never called back. I'm not hiding out and am very easy to locate. I have recently been accused by his family of kidnapping my daughter, however no one has ever filed anything with the court. If he wants an updated visitation plan can't he file one? If he feels cheated in anyway can't he file with the court? He goes there a few times a year for failing to pay his child support. Now that he is 10,000 dollars in arrears, his girlfriend is showing interest in meeting my daughter, but in my opinion if I don't hear from him it doesn't count. Anyway, she knows he exists, and I have asked her in the past if she'd like me to try to contact him but she's really not interested. She wants my husband to adopt her. We live in Oregon. I don't feel I could force her to meet him at this age.
