Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

ex-spouse relocating with children. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
