    Let me see, what visits do they have, they have no overnight, but do they have day visits ?

    Is state line like across the street or 100's of miles away.

    If you have issues with the visits, you need to get it spelled out exactly in the court order.

    If they can have the child for 5 hours, and across state line is dlownt he road, most likely they can unless it says they can't.

    But if they had a suicide attempt and live with a person with warrants, you should get all visits except supervised suspended

    visits and paying support are not related, two separate issues.

    For the support you need to go back to court and/or get your state child support enforcement after her.

    But unless the custody agreement says she can not, yes she can as long as the child is returned.

    Many people are under the impression that state lines are some magical border. Truth is that if there weren't a sign most wouldn't even realize that they had left the state. Granted, it makes a crime federal in many cases, but this is a simple case of proximity to the border, not a flee.

    She has court ordered visitation. Its not like she is fleeing... she is going home. And home isn't really all that far away. You could take it up in court, but I suspect that it would be a huge waste of time.
