Leominster, MA asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Massachusetts

Q: How can my son fight to keep his son in Mass after she told him the court grant her motion?

He was served on Thursday and was given 20 days to respond there wasn't a court date set. She went to court this morning and text him that she was granted permission to leave Mass to VT. She claims financially she couldn't stay here and needed to further her career. Meanwhile she will be living with a boyfriend in VT . My son pays child support, medical insurance and life insurance. My grandson is 6 years old and school will be in session next week. He will be left alone with strangers to raise him while she pursues a career. The only family she has lives in California not VT.

A: Your son will need to take a look at the Court file and preferably make copies of the contents so that he can consult with a domestic relations attorney ASAP. It does not make sense that the case went forward on a Motion , so some information is missing from the picture your son has presented to you.
