So my Fiancée of 5 years and the mother of our 3 year old left me to be with a registered sex offender. He is a Tier 3 and has failed to register twice in the last few years which is a felony. I’m pretty sure this will highly affect any custody she will have of our child. The child is currently with me because she left him with me when she spontaneously left. My question is if I should report him to the authorites, they are definitely not living at his last registered address. They live in a county about 30 minutes from his current address. Do I have any power here or should I let it play out in court? I’ve told her she can’t have our child until we go to court because she is with a registered sex offender.

Contact a local family law attorney. Keep any documentation that proves that your ex is living with the registered sex offender.
There’s nothing to stop you from calling in an anonymous tip that a sex offender who has failed to register is living at an address not listed on the last update on the registry. Any concerned citizen might do that.
In this case, it would be optimal for you to get an emergency parenting plan/custody order.
