Q: Divorced 5 years ago in Illinois Havent received child support in that time. I want to move out of state.
I have sole custody. However I am not allowed to move out of state.(want to move to Iowa. 60 miles away. My ex refuses to even attempt to get a job to help pay for our son. What are my options?
A: File a two count post judgment petition in the county where you were divorced. The first petition is for removal of the child to another state. You can move up to 50 miles legally, and the judge is not likely to rule against you because of the extra 10 miles. The second petition is for contempt against your ex because of his support arrearage.
