    Question What Happens if You Move Out of State With the Kids Without First Telling Your Spouse

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida to Tennessee

    My husband and I have been married for over 5 year . We have two young children who are not school age yet. I have told him how unhappy I have became with our marriage which both of us tried working on but failed. I can not financial support myself in the town we live but can back in Tennessee were all my family is.
    Can I just up and leave with our children to Tn and not tell him until we leave? Could he file charges for up and leaving ?
    We both work full time and I would be able yo transfer . My in laws live with us currently so if I left he would still have no problem paying the rent and other bills here as he makes more.

    You can go, yes, but he can file immediately for divorce and temporary custody (and frankly, he should) and you'll likely be told to return the children to Florida pending a custody determination and your chances of actually getting custody and being allowed to relocate with them will drop dramatically.

    If you want what's best for the children, you'll make sure their father is involved every step of the way instead of running off without telling him.

    I agree with Dogmatique. These children belong to BOTH of you and you can't just take them away because your life would be easier in Tennessee. You are the mom but only have 50% of the say here. The last thing you want to do is put them in the middle of a tug-a-war.
