My ex and i share joint custody. In our seperation agreement daughter lived with him, as at the time she was to finish the last few months of the school year in Canada, then come to me in Europe. She came to live with me, and has been here ever since. With his written permission for the past 3 years.
He has since been remarried and has gone to work for a aid group in another country. I dont have any contact information for him, and neither does our daughter, except for an email address. We only know the country he is in, and not even the town, nor province. He calls sporatically, but averages twice per month, sometimes three times, the length of the calls is limited to about 5 minutes per call.
Usually he and I dont contact eachother, but in the past 3 months, i have recieved nasty and insulting emails from his email account written by his new wife, this started after my daughter told them about a falling out with her friends. Most of the emails i get are signed in his name or not at all, but its definatly not my ex writing back, he was never that lengthy with words. So too, my daughter has begun to get emails from her fathers account written and signed by the wife, she had forwarded one to me, and kept the rest, as she is ticked off by lack of her fathers interest.
Luckily we are moving back to canada in the next month.
My questions are;
Do i email him and tell him that i am returning?
Do i have to tell him the date i am returning?
(One of the emails that i recieved basically ordered me to take her back to Canada) Of course he will find out right away, his sister and i are still on talking terms, and I want my daughter to catchup on family visits.
I really dont want any legal battle with them. Frankly i think they are silly for wanting to move a healthy teen from a home where she is comfortable. But I dont have issues with them(even with the emails), and i dont believe they intentionally want to harm her.
Could they also take her from my house in Canada kicking and screaming, if she doesnt want to go with them? Do kids 13-15 have any legal rights?
Its so stupid at this age to be starting problems now.
Thanks again for answering my questions in advance
