Q: Relocating out of state with daughter. If dad appeals, will it drag out the process if I need to move by a certain day?
He has supposed to have been paying child support since January but he hasn't paid anything yet and now has a court date set for May 10th because of it. He gets 90 overnights and we have agreed on everything thus far. We have not discussed this relocation with him but my current wife and I want to relocate for better jobs and environment. If myself (the current husband) moves down there to get a job, and she plans on moving down shortly after, can her dad drag out the process and force us to stay if he appeals and the court hasn't finished deciding?
A: This is not an appellate question, it is a custody/relocation question. Indiana Code 31-17-2.2-1 et seq. covers the notice requirements for a relocating parent and the options available to the non-relocating parent.
