Question

i just want to know, i'm the one whom raised her everyday since she was 6 months, problems with in the marriage forced me to leave the home. i know she can't stay home and take care of the kids cause its her son also whom i raised but i have to be real and cover whats mine no matter what just in case it is some thing she tries to do i want to know can she do that/ what can i do? also ya know any good lawyers...lol so need some advice/help/answers thank you.

Answer 1

she has to give you 30 days notice but other than that yes she can. oh and the first person is completely wrong she doesn't have to have you sign anything. she can go where ever she wants

Answer 2

Call the courthouse and see if there is someone there that can help you.  There were mediators that would help fill out papers at the courthouse my daughter went to.  

Answer 3

Unfortunately, the courts heavily favor the mother.  You could have been there every day since birth, while mom left with the umbilical cord dragging behind as she went to the first crack dealer she could find, and the judge will make her determination by looking at your genitals.

The only think I can think of is to report her to CPS if you have some sort of evidence.  If not, try to make something up.

Answer 4

I hate to say this but until the divorce is final and you set up custody then both of you have the same rights to the children and yes she can leave the state with the child. This was addressed when i saw the lawyer for mine since my soon to be ex lives out of state he warned me that if he had the kids and decided not to give the child back would be a huge fight later down the line to get my kids back since it crosses state lines and advised me to not let them stay with him till things where final

Answer 5

She can do what she wants unless you get a court order. You must not waste time on this. Go to the domestic court and file a motion to keep your daughter here and file for custody. That will keep her here for now.

Answer 6

No.... at least not legally. In order for her to take your daughter out of state she will have to file a "move-away" motion with the court in the county in which the child resides. This is a very complicated motion and very hard to fight. The party who requests the move away has the burden of prove that the child is better while in their care or  that the childs health and well being is in danger while in the other party's care. If i were you i would file for divorce ASAP (in the court for the county in which you reside) this will set jurisdiction of the case to that particular court, so any further issues regarding the children are ruled there. Dont stress! but again, if i were you id file for either divorce or legal separation as soon as possible.

Answer 7

Not without your signed written consent.

Answer 8

I live in canada... so I dont kow how it works there... but I do know that here... If you go to court you can try to get an order to keep the other party in province... other than that... I know that a parent can go where they want unless court ordered.... I was married and moved my children and myself away to a different province....... but we had certain cicumstances that brought us here.. your best bet would be to talk to a lawyer

Answer 9

I don't believe without a court order.

Answer 10

At this point she can do anything she wants to because no paperwork has been filed keeping her in state.  I would contact an attorney immediately to keep her in the state till the division can be worked out or settled.   Including rights to see the child.

Answer 11

Actually she can take her out of the state that is why you need to get things settled if you did take care of her the whole time you would probably get awarded custody.  Really though I think that if there is nothing documented there is no proof.  

Answer 12

the person that leaves is considered the loser cuz they abandoned the martial home.

she cannot move out of state if you specify that in the divorce decree

if she had kids from another marriage, then all she wanted was a baby sitter and someone to finance their childhood

women like that are whores.. they give up ***** for someone to raise their kids.

i know a few peeps that got taken by single moms...

not all single moms are like that, but there are plenty of snakes in the grass out there that manipulate men with their snizz's

if the kids arent yours, she can go to h**l if she wants and you have no say so in the matter.. unless you adopted them

Answer 13

Some states, such as Illinois, do not allow the children to be moved out of state of residence when you separate or divorce.  You would have to call your court house in the county you live and ask, they can give you a little advice on some things.  There are probably some others states like this but which I'm not sure.  You need to get a good lawyer, I don't know whom, but it should be someone you feel is looking at your best interests and is willing to explain laws/info to you so your not confused on what's happening.
