Q: Mother of my two youngest kids wants to move to her mom's in southern California is there a way to keep my kids near or
With me?
A: You can file for child custody/ visitation rights, and you can object to the move-away by filing a TRO on the basis that it would hinder your time with your kids. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.

A: If you don't have a case filed with the court, filing with the court is key. Filing a request for order for child custody and visitation or an opposition to the relocation is critical. The court will do a thorough analysis and ultimately make a decision whether mom can move with the children. There are too many factors to go over on an online posting since these are the toughest cases in the family law court. More facts are required to to provide a thorough analysis. Consult with a local lawyer to discuss your strategy.
