Okay so, I have an 8yr old w my ex. He has always been in and out of her life, sometimes in jail, sometimes he just leaves our hometown, and now twice we hAve had a protective order so we cannot have contact. Last year he assaulted me and went to jail and that's why me and him have a no contact order this time. It is until Feb 2018 so we talk thru a third party thats a mutual friend...Because he's been so unstable in her life she calls my husband, who.i have other children with, "dad"..Anyways she still sees her bio dad sometimes maybe once at most twice a month but she has a lot of mixed feelings about him. She says shes use to not seeing him so if she doesn't she won't care but I know she starts to miss him. Well now her bio dad is having another child w a woman who lives bout 30 minutes out of town. He told my daughter he was probably moving out there when their child is.born or sooner ...I have told her she isn't going there any time soon considering I can't call or talk to her dad, I've never met his gf, and she lives w her dad out there and idk anyone out there. it feels unsafe to me...Am I doing the right thing ? keep in mind he has run w the wrong people many times and has been in dangerous situations...my mom says legally he can take her wherever he wants but is there anything I can do ? without hurting my daughter ? He never sees her on his mandated days like the custody arrangements we have it's just whenever he can basicaly.. any advice is appreciated thanks
