We both lived in California. My husband was being sent to Hawaii for his job. We went to court and they gave him custody because he was more likely to pursue the visitation by both parties. He still lived with his mother and was more financially responsible. He wanted to make sure no one left the 2 counties without an agreement or family code 3024.My husband rejected the job and went out of county. We moved about 150 miles away and got written permission. We worked out visitation on our own. That was after a lot of trouble being caused by him. He then leaves the state over 350 miles away and wants the same visitation.
In court will they see that it is a long way to travel for a 7 year old every other weekend for 6 hour drives one way? We tried to tell that to him that it is not good on her to be doing that. Also, we have told him about oil changes, gas and vehicle maintenance because he does not like public transportation. He is a person that eats at fast food places a lot as well.
I thought that instead of 1st, 3rd and 5th weekends and every other school holiday, give him an extra week during summer since it was split in half. Instead of splitting Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas and New years, letting him have visitation for the whole time rotating every year. He wants the same visitation as he had. Please let me know if this is going to be in the best interest of the child if he takes her to Arizona every other weekend. Thank you.
