Whitney says because of a substantial change in one parent's situation. The proposed modified parenting plan noted a change to Travis. Whitney said that Travis neglected his parental duties towards a child and Travis has a long-term emotional or physical problem that gets in the way of his ability to parent. Whitney requested that Travis be evaluated for anger management and domestic violence and a full psychiatric evaluation by a licensed psychiatrist to include any potential diagnosis. She wanted the hearing within 30 days. She also wanted Travis to enroll in individual counseling sessions with a licensed mental health counselor at least twice a month. She said if Travis did not do these things, the mother will have the choice to further limit visitation. The court agreed with Whitney and the proposed parenting plan. It also found limiting factors of neglect and emotional and physical problems against Travis.

Travis was granted visitation every other weekend on Fridays from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Then on Friday, May 30th, just before 10:00 p.m., the Wanache Police Department took a call from Whitney that said Travis had not returned with their daughters after the planned custody visit. According to documents regarding the custodial interference, Whitney told police their divorce was civil, but after he lost his housing, the parenting plan was modified. She denied any domestic violence during their marriage, but did mention moments of power or control he used. She also said she believes he currently does not take medication.
