Does the non custodial parent have to know where the other parent lives?

Or can they just pick them up at a drop location..?Does the non custodial parent have to know where the other parent lives?
In most cases I'd say yes, in case of an emergency for example.





BUT If there has been violence or domestic abuse in the past, you have every right to keep your own address secret from the other parent.





It depends on your own personal situation, just do what you feel most comfortable with, and what you feel is in yours and your kids best interest.Does the non custodial parent have to know where the other parent lives?
It depends on where you live (i.e., what laws apply), and what extenuating circumstances there are. If the relationship was abusive, for example, you may not be required to disclose. If you are the parent with sole custody (i.e., you have sole right to make decisions regarding the child), and good reason not to disclose your location, that may be allowable - again, depending on the circumstances, and your jurisdiction.
Unless there's been a history of violence/harassment (and I mean REAL harrassment, not just wanting to know when they're going to get to see their kids), then a parent has every right to know where their children live.





While it may be more convenient for the custodial parent to try and cut the other parent out of their lives completely, you don't always get to have what you want.
In MO the non-custodial parent has every right to know where their child lives. So yes, you must tell the father where you will be living. But you have the right to know where he lives
Yes, the non-custodial parent has the right to know where their child lives.
