My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida to North Carolina
My husbands' son's mother currently has physical custody of their 12 year old son. They were never married. She lives in Florida. He is physically with us in North Carolina for the summer. Due to her circumstance , she wants to voluntarily give full physical custody to us and establish summer time visitation with her/ maybe some holidays. We pay monthly child support and are current with pmts. There is an arrears amount of approx 8,000.00 that is being paid down out of the monthly payment. What steps need to be taken to accomplish this custody transfer? How do we adjust the child support payment to stop the support as we will have full physical custody? Can the arrears amount by mutual agreement be wiped out? Or if there is a support amount established for her can that arrears be a credit for her against what she would pay? She is not working right now. She wants to do this for 2 years, but we want to make this a permanent transfer in the best interest of the child, we would be open to including something to the effect that after two years by mutual agreement of all parties involved that we would consider that issue before he starts High School. If the situation is not in the best interest of the child , we will not agree. Is there a link to the Florida Forms we will need to prepare and can we file these from North Carolina or can the mother file them in the State of Florida. If we have a mutual agreement drawn up between us which states all of our terms can this be done in a short period of time as she wants us to keep him here and have him start school here in August. Thank you for your time and attention to this.... D
