How Would You Play this if this were Your 14 year old?
BM moved out of her GF's home where GF lived with her parents. Apparently the parents are done with BM and they aren't happy with her lieng, cheating ways.
So BM now has her very own apartment. She has not given DH the address.
Now that BM has "no adults in the house", she can do whatever she wants. Her behavior has already been spinning out of control the past 6 months with frantic calls, texts, professions of love, professions of giving up her miniscule amount of custody of SS14, and now basically being kicked out of her lover's home.
So we predict that BM's home will no longer be a safe environment for SS. Before he had the grandma/grandpa watching him all day when he was left alone. They fed him. They took care of him. Plus they lived there and it was NOT a party house.
Now BM can do whatever she wants.
Next Friday begins SS14's first of three- two week visits with his mom. We are going to send him with a go-phone type cell phone to utilize in case of emergency, in case she doesn't come home by a certain hour, etc. But what can we do regarding finding out the address? We WILL have SS provide it to us when he arrives as I'm sure she'll try NOT to give it to us (for whatever odd reason she has).
Just looking for opinions. DH is stressing out. This apartment is also in a bad neighborhood and SS will be sitting there alone for the two weeks. (Of course, she states she doesn't work, but for some reason, she leaves the house every morning and returns at the end of the day...).

Check your custody agreement.
Check your custody agreement. Mine states that both parents must provide new address 30 days prior to moving. I would withhold the visitation without the address.
I had this same problem with
I had this same problem with my exh, he did not want to give me the address of where he was living, our CO states that each parent has to provide their home address to the other parent. My attorney told me to tell him that he could pick up the kids once he provided me the address. Your DH has a right to have that address, if she does not want to give it then maybe he needs to read his CO, see if it states she has to give it and get a free consult from an attorney. But me personally, no address given = no visitation.
That is actually what DH said
That is actually what DH said he was going to say... that he wouldn't bring SS to the drop off location if she didn't provide the new address and that it is in the CO... however I'm not exactly sure that it IS in the CO.
I know that there is something in there stating that both parents need to inform the other of their address (I think) but I'm pretty sure it is not tied to visitation or a time frame.
Ss was with her last weekend
Ss was with her last weekend and him and the gf helped her move. Dh thinks that the gf (aka sugar mama) is putting her up in the cheap apartment to keep the peace with her parents but who knows.
And how could she possibly
And how could she possibly afford her own apartment when she "only works 5 hours a week and makes less than $200 a month".
Dh has an ro against her.
Dh has an ro against her.
But I could see her not providing the address and then trying to call the police on dh. She will call the police if ss is not available for her court ordered phone call or if ss needs to get off the phone if she has nothing better to do. (Crazy much?)
I'm going to go get a full set of all the orders in their case in case the police come a knocking. (We are in the middle of a remodel and things are all over the place). But I know the police don't usually get involved and it will take a lot of effort on her part to go file with the courts. And if she does, I suppose it becomes a great time to open the doors for contempt since she doesn't follow the orders and then possibly diminish her visitation since she's sent dh a few texts stating she wants to give up custody.
