in May 2007 i was granted custodial custody with our child's mother having visitation Fri. after school and return to local police station on Sun. Our child's mother has not had any contact with our child for nearly 21/2yrs. and is now seeking a modification of current order. I didn't bother to notify the courts because i felt it wasn't worth the drama. Our child's well being has always been my main focus. What are my rights

Additional information

I also have a restraining order against her mother which she now wants lifted.

If you feel a change to the parenting time schedule is needed or if you oppose her request, a motion should be filed. If she has filed a motion, you must respond or you risk having her win by default.
