now that he has been back for the same amount of time that he has been back he feels that when he gets married in oct 2007 he should be getting our daughter for over night visits. I have nothing against his future wife infact im happy for the two of them and she encourages him to see our daughter. but i have concerns of not seeing her again if she does go for an over night because his future wife is from canada and she has lots of family up there and since he is her father I feel that he can just get her a passport and take her.would you feel that way too? what would you do?

You have good reason to be concerned. Don't let him take her out of the country. See the link below.

If you are at all afraid that your ex will take off with your daughter..you need to take precautions. Has your daughter been seeing her dad since he's been back? Because if she hasn't seen him for 2&1/2 years, he can't just expect her to jump back into overnights...she needs to get reaquainted with him first. I'm not sure how passports work, I don't know if you have to be the custodial parent to get one or not...call the proper office that gives out US passports to find out. If you are extremely concerned, you can talk to a lawyer and probably get the proper paperwork that states your ex can't take your daughter out of the country...although it would be reasonable for her to travel to Canada for vacations..
As long as your ex has not threatened before to take your daughter away, I would relax..is he a good dad? it sounds like his fiance is ok...I know you'll miss your little one..but try and take the time she is gone and spend it on you.. Good luck!

Canada is not the forests of South America. If he takes your daughter and heads across the border he will be arrested and prosecuted as will his future wife's family if he's taken her there. As far as locating your daughter if he did take her to Canada - would you be able to locate her easily if he took her to South Carolina? If he's doing to do something, he'll do it no matter where he is....but don't worry about never seeing her again and them living as a happy family in Canada because that wouldn't happen. She would be found and returned as easily as if he took her to Ohio to see family.

For in spite of reason, we experience the ought to overcompensate for the undeniable fact that we've disrupted the youngster's homestead life. loosen up, take a breath and consider out to no longer enable it get to you too plenty. As you have suggested, this is all new for the two certainly one of you.

YES I see the predicament that you are in. That would be a thought if it was my child as well. Good luck to you. I know you need to do what is in the best interest of your child, but sometimes it is hard.

don't ask silly questions like this here, because nothing said here will have an impact on reality.
Talk to an attorney - you'll need one.
