My co-parent has a protective order but also has a decree that states she must disclose her address when she moves, but she is refusing. What can I do?
It should still be disclosed as order has not been modified. It can be shared by an intermediary.
You can get this before the court on an expedited basis. This is done using a special motion called Order to Show Cause. It's basically a motion with an affidavit, and it's something the court clerk can provide a form for or a local lawyer can prepare.

Coparent has a protective order but also has a decree that states she must disclose her address when she moves. She refuses to do that because of the protective order.

Are you currently seeking legal advice or representation for this matter?
Advice.

Is there anything else the criminal lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with coparent address disclosure.
Yes.

My name is Daniel, and Iíve been a licensed lawyer for over 21 years. I'm truly sorry you're going through this with the disclosure, and I'll do my best to provide clear answers and address your questions with care.
To get started and better understand your situation, I have a couple of quick questions.
- What result or outcome do you have in mind?
- Other than what you've shared, what else have you tried so far?
I tried to talk to her about it on the coparenting app, but she’s acting like I don’t have a right to know my son’s address because of her protective order. Her current address is literally in our divorce decree though, and that came after the protective order. That and the decree says that we have to keep one another informed of the child’s address.
My main question is whether it’s worth filing with the court to enforce it or if they’ll just side with her anyway because we do neutral location exchanges and she has a 100 foot protective order.

I want to make sure the answer is clear and that you fully understand it. If you have any follow-up questions or need clarification, please feel free to ask. Otherwise, if everything makes sense, just reply with “all set.” Thank you!
