Joint Physical & Legal Custody
I have joint, physical , legal custody of my 2 girls, My question is , The mother wants to move them out of state, I'm talking 3 states away, what are my options ? she has told me that we could split the time with them, 1 of us have them all through the school year and the other get them for all of summer break and any other school breaks, she has also indicated to me that she wants them for the school year, but this is also when I want them, right now we have it set where we have them every other week, I dont want to give up my kids for 8-9 months out of the year, and only see them maybe 3 months every year, what are my options here legally?
Thanks
Joint Legal and Physical Custody
Do you have roughly equal parenting time as well?
Unless you and your ex- chose different language, the custody order prohibits certain relocations with the children, including moves to another state, without court permission. If that is the case and you oppose the move, you can make your ex- attempt to establish to a court that it is in the children's best interest to permit her to relocate with them to another state. If you do oppose the move I suggest you work through a lawyer, to make sure that you are well-represented in the court proceedings.
