    Father holding daughter in defiance of court
    My daughters husband, an illegal in Colorado, was supposed to have visitation with the children, took all four to Mexico, to his Mother. My daughter took him to court, he acts like he doesn't know any English, gets an interpretor, costing the taxpayers tons of money, then says he will bring them back.. He doesn't. My daughter goes to Mexico, brings three back, but can't get the youngest, who is sleeping with her grandmother. She has the three. The illegal husband has been told at court three times, to bring her back, he says OK. Never does. He is making a mockery of the court system, and doesn't do what the court tells him. And he is illegal! The other day he told my daughter the girl will come home, when she is fifteen. And laughs at my daughter. Is there anyone who can help us? Thanks.

    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on another thread. This can lead to confusion. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

    You need to get the state Department involved in getting Mexican authorities to retrieve the child.

    As I read this, the father is still in Colorado, or at least in the U.S. If he won't do what the court orders him to do, the court can have him thrown in jail until he makes it happen. It's called contempt of court.
