The parenting plan has not been violated, but I am concerned that the other parent may disappear with my child. What can I do to prevent that?

There is probably not much you can do until there is an actual a violation of the Court’s order.  If your concerns are serious, you should have an attorney to represent you in this situation.

 If you do not have an attorney, you can contact the Clallam - Jefferson County Pro Bono Lawyers at:  1-888-201-1014.
