Van Nuys, CA asked in Divorce and Child Custody for California

Q: Does it mean she can travel to outside the country with my 12 years son without my permission?

In the court order I can see the following line is checked:

"Neither party shall change the residence of any minor child for more than 30 days without the written consent of the other or an order from this court without giving written notice to the other party in the manner provided in FC§3024"

Does it mean she can travel with my 12 years son to outside the country for less than a month with just send me a note and with no permission?

A: Since the existing court order does not contain restrictions as to where she can travel, she may be able to travel outside the country for less than a month. Contact an attorney in the county where the mother and child reside about seeking to file a Request to Modify Custody. You did not state whether this was a Divorce Action or a Paternity case. It could make a difference in what sort of help the court can give you. Susan G. Cohen, Esq. Sacramento.
