Q: Can my wife sign for divorce without my concent if I and my son goes to another state?
She is also suppose to move back to the same state soon. Im scare if I do go she can divorce me without my knowledge
A:
To get a divorce your wife will have to serve you with a summons.
Issues to do with custody are usually decided in the state where the child lived during the previous six months.
A: The answer to your question depends upon several variables, which can best be addressed by an in-person consultation with a divorce lawyer. This forum cannot provide specific answers to questions involving unknown facts. For example, by what authority are you taking your child with you? Is your wife OK with your removing the child? Will she file solely to have you return the child? The questions are many.
