A member of the community asks:
“I have joint custody with my daughter’s dad. She is 20 months, and he keeps telling me that he is going to keep her from me until we go to court because she has a cold. He blames it on me. Could he do that even though?
I have heat and everything. It’s not like she is sick all the time, and mind you, my oldest goes to school plus his other kids go to school. And last week his son had the flu. But every time she goes back, it’s my fault if she is sick.”

Advice Summary
According to fellow community members, her daughter’s father isn’t legally allowed to keep their daughter from her unless the custody agreement is officially changed in court.
One commenter wrote, “No, he has to follow the court order. If need be, get the police involved. This will only help you to show in court how he is non-compliant with the court order.”
Another mom wrote, “Have you taken your child to the doctor and asked them to check to see why she could be sick so often? Have you installed protocols with the older kids; frequent hand washing, no kissing her face, no touching her face, hand sanitizers? Are they up to date on all vaccines, including flu? I’d do everything you can just in case you have to go to court to fight.”
