Q: Can moving with another family affect you while divorcing, in custody matter?
My husband and I have been seperated for 2 months I will be filing for divorce. However i cant keep living where my daughter and I currently live, cant afford it. I have a friend who offer me her house, she leaves with family. My daughter and Iwould have our own room. Would doing this affect me in some way for custody of my daughter?
A: Probably not, unless the friend endangers the heath/safety of the child and/or is a convicted sex offender against children. The help may result in a reduction of the property, spousal support, and/or child support - usually the reduction is very low (esp. if the help is temporary).
