Merry Christmas!!
When you have time, I have a few follow up questions for ya.
The Co-habitation issue is very important- because BM likes to have men in and out of our daughter's life. Even with being married to another man, she's not one for being monogamus. This unrelated male(and another), was living in the home and present during her T-day visitations, but our daughter never met him prior to that visitation. He currently resides in the home. Unsure if the other male still resides there as well.
I am not trying to find fault and look for trouble. I just want to cover bases, because BM has been very predictable in filing petitions shortly after the New Year, each year while not following the court's orders herself.
1) Is Registering a Foreign Child Custody/Visitation & Support Order in my state the same as requesting jurisdiction- or does that just give TN the right to enforce the child support and visitations in addition to the Virginia Courts?
2) If it allows TN to enforce the order as well, I would assume that registering the foreign order would be the best thing to do with an out of state order retaining jursidiction. Is that correct?
2a Are there any downfalls(legally) to registering it in TN that I should be concerned with?
3) The court order specifically states " There shall be no cohabitation with members of the opposite sex not related by blood or marriage while with the child." Unless that changes in the current Judge's order, would having a ' male roommate(s)' be in violation of that, during her visitations?
Thank you again for all of your help through this. I just know this is NOT the end of this mess, as much as I wish it were.
