Form is submitting and redirecting without information - forms

Question

I'm really terrible with forms, so any help you can provide would be great.
This form initially had a modal that came up on submission, but I had to change it to a redirect. Now it's redirect without any data being entered.
<form id="contact-form" method="post" onsubmit="return redirect()">
<div class="contact-form-loader"></div>
<fieldset>
<div class="contact-form_top-section">
<label class="name">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Parent's Name:" value="" data-constraints="#Required #JustLetters">
<span class="empty-message">*This field is required.</span>
<span class="error-message">*This is not a valid name.</span>
</label>
<label class="email">
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Parent's E-mail:" value="" data-constraints="#Required #Email">
<span class="empty-message">*This field is required.</span>
<span class="error-message">*This is not a valid email.</span>
</label>
<label class="phone">
<input type="text" name="phone" placeholder="Parent's Cellphone:" value="" data-constraints="#JustNumbers">
<span class="empty-message">*This field is required.</span>
<span class="error-message">*This is not a valid phone.</span>
</label>
<label class="message">
<input type="text" name="message" placeholder="Tell us about your children:" value="" data-constraints="#Required">
<span class="empty-message">*This field is required.</span>
<span class="error-message">*The message is too short.</span>
</label>
</div>
<div class="contact-form_bottom-section">
Clear
<input type="submit" class="btn btn__hover bg-color-6" value="Send">
</div>
</fieldset>
The .js page has a ton of data, and I'm not exactly sure which part you need. Here's the first part.
;(function($){
$.fn.TMForm=function(opt){
return this.each(TMForm)
function TMForm(){
var form=$(this)
opt=$.extend({
okClass:'ok'
,emptyClass:'empty'
,invalidClass:'invalid'
,successClass:'success'
,responseErrorClass:'response-error'
,responseMessageClass:'response-message'
,processingClass:'processing'
,onceVerifiedClass:'once-verified'
,mailHandlerURL:'bat/MailHandler.php'
,successShowDelay:'4000'
,stripHTML:true
,recaptchaPublicKey:''
,capchaTheme:'clean'
},opt)
init()
function init(){
form
.on('submit',formSubmit)
.on('reset',formReset)
.on('focus','[data-constraints]',function(){
$(this).parents('label').removeClass(opt.emptyClass)
})
.on('blur','[data-constraints]:not(.once-verified)',function(){
$(this)
.addClass(opt.onceVerifiedClass)
.trigger('validate.form')
})
.on('keyup','[data-constraints].once-verified',function(){
$(this).trigger('validate.form')
})
.on('keydown','input',function(e){
var $this=$(this)
,next=$this.parents('label').next('label').find('input,textarea')
if(e.keyCode===13)
if(next.length)
next.focus()
else
form.submit()
})
.on('keydown','textarea',function(e){
if(e.keyCode===13&&e.ctrlKey)
$(this).parents('label').next('label').find('input,textarea').focus()
})
.on('change','input[type="file"]',function(){
$(this).parents('label').next('label').find('input,textarea').focus()
})
.attr({
method:'POST'
,action:opt.mailHandlerURL
})

Your best bet is to put the redirect function at the end of the formSubmit function which should be somewhere in your JS file. By doing what you did your form never gets to hit the 'formSubmit' function which I assume handles the data.
