Q: The mother of my child moved my son out of town without my knowledge and we have joint custody..still pay child support
I never knew she moved him out of state until i was able to pick him so I had my mother to call her because we don’t get alone so she stated to my mother that I knew that she moved but that’s a total lie because I never signed any papers with us having joint custody..what should I do?
A: If she removed the child from Louisiana, she would have had to comply with the relocation statute. She should have notified you of the proposed move before it occurred. If she didn't, you have the right to file contesting the move. A family law/custody attorney can help you with this.
A: You should hire a custody attorney to get your son back BEFORE HE'S BEEN GONE SIX MONTHS.
