My question involves a child custody case from the State of: CA
Hello All,
A little bit of background:
I was recently married to my beautiful wife who is pregnant. We will be bringing in our son here in the next week or so (due 3/14). She has a daughter that is 4 and spends 5 days a week with us in our 2 bedroom condo that we rent in Orange County. Her daughter stays with her father 2 days a week. He lives with his mom and grandparents, and doesn't have a job although interns at the airport.
I was recently offered a promotion which involves leaving the state of California for Charlotte, NC. The promotion would allow me to purchase a 3 bedroom house for my family among other benefits such as being able to allow my wife to stay at home, and the over all better area and schools that are available.
Her main concern with the move, is what the father will do, or can do. He is not the most stable father. He never puts an effort to see his daughter more frequently. Just a few weeks ago we had our baby shower which required us to have my step daughter for the Saturday that he would normally have her. Instead of wanting to take her after the shower and for the rest of the weekend, or taking her for 2 days starting that Sunday, he just skipped the weekend all together and said he would just take her on her next scheduled days.
What are the laws and how can i make sure that i make the best move for my family? I don't want to miss this amazing opportunity.
Thank you
-jon
