Ok,lets try this agin?

Question

I want to move out of state.Right now my ex and I have joint custody.I am well aware that it won't be that way once I make this move and it won't be that way much longer anyways being as he is started to turn unfit it's a long story but he has no job for over a year and other things.So obviously he isn't paying support but like I said that will change soon to.For the good of my family(my husband and other kids as well as this child) we are wanting to move out of state.If I get full custody can he stop me.

Answer 1

In CA Nope he cant, but each state has its own different laws.

Answer 2

no if you get full custody he can stop you, but he can make your life dam uncomfortable.  

Answer 3

   If you have sole legal and physical custody, no he can't stop you.  But consider this.  You won't be able to enforce a support order from another state.  And think about the child.  No matter how bad of a s***w up your ex may be, he is still this child's father.  And children psychologically need a relationship with their father, no matter how bad it may be.  Are you prepared for the fall out of taking this child away from his father?

Answer 4

"Anyways" as a word in English, doesn't exist.

Can you leave with your children?

Yes.

Legally?

Likely not.

Can he come after you?

Yes, but that takes attorneys and money, and as you have stated, he has no money nor a job.  And family  court in all states are full of items like this.... it may be years before you get this case in front of a judge.... and you and he may work out something between the two of you  after you have left, prior to any court case.

Even if you have full custody, the terms of your divorce settlement, and the terms of the way you and he shared time with your children are indeed what you OUGHT you abide by.  But if you leave, tell him nothing, and just go, and take your children with you before he finds an attorney, and even knows that you are gone, we are talking months and months, perhaps years of getting things again settled in a court.  

You have to decide if it is worth it.  

Answer 5

If your child has a relationship with the biological father, then you best not move.  If there is no relationship, then start your family elsewhere and make your new hubby the one for life for the sake of your kids.

Answer 6

Seems to me no matter what  your going to paint this guy out to be garbage ,and this is your child's father like it or not.You seem like a very selfish person to me only thinking of whats good for you and i think that's S****y, try thinking about your son for a minute .and i can guarantee your going to run down to the court and bad mouth this man and say whatever you need to to get your way.And like i said befor judges dont like to remove a childs father from the situation regardless of whatever selfish desires you might have you really are getting under my skin
