Q: Me and my children's father were never married and there was never a custody done through the courts. But he pays child
Support I want to move out of state one child wants to move in with her father she is 16 one child wants to go with me who is 13 am I allowed to move or can he force me to stay in the state of Ohio just because he pays child support the girls have always lived with me
A: Use the Find a Lawyer tab to consult a local family law attorney who can review all the facts and then advise you. You currently have legal custody of both, and you determine where they will live, but if the father goes to court, the court could grant him parenting rights and specify where each will live. The court could require them to stay in Ohio. Consult an attorney.
