Q: What r my chances to move from CA to NM with my son if dad will fight me. My son is 11 and doesn't want to stay with him
My mom and family live in NM and are willing on helping me and my family out so I can further my education. Cost of living is also cheaper out there. My son doesn't want to stay with his dad and his dads ex is willing on writing a statement due to my sons fathers actions on him not wanting to provide for my son and also his anger outburst (punching walls) and breaking things . I want to know if I have a good chance. We've had joint custody since my son was 2. And I've also been told my son isn't spending the time he should be with his dad on his visitation time. He stays with his dads ex girlfriend sometimes. she takes him so my son doesn't have to be around his dad because of his anger outbursts.
A: You are seeking what is known as a "move away" order, and these can be difficult to achieve. There are several factors the court will consider, and these frequently lead to long trials if the non-moving parent opposes the move. You should meet with an attorney to discuss your case and see what your case's strengths and weaknesses are.
