My friend has two daughters under the age of 4. The father of the children is a complete loser and just so happens to be in prison until next September for battery of a police officer and a DUI while license suspended. She would like to move to another state and restart her life with her children. What are her chances of getting this approved by the state? She has a clean record and just wants the best for her family, although her ex is still the father of their children and is on the birth certificates. Thoughts?
If there is an order preventing her from removing the children from the state then by law she cannot do so but since the courts always favor the women even in terms of child sexual abuse nothing will happen, the Judge will just sing Biology and tell you to go on your marry way and pay to support her on everything she does
The question is there a current court order preventing her from doing what she wishes ie a custody order with the rights of both parents spelled out. If not, she probably can leave, but that’s not to say he can file something down the road that would require her to pay for transportation of visitation since she was the one that left. Best advice, speak to an attorney who is familiar with family law.
