Q: My spouse and I aren't married, & she wants to move my daughter to another state? Can she do so without the father say?
Currently we reside in Houston, Tx., and I have reasons to believe my spouse wants to move our daughter to New York.
A: She can move if there are no orders in place as to who determines where the child lives. If that is the case then you need to pursue court action to put them into place as soon as possible before she actually moves. Good luck 888-343-4529. Ready to help.
A: Until there are actual court orders for possession and access to the child/children and whether or not there are any geographical restrictions on where the parents can live, the parent can move that child anywhere. It's a good idea to get an order in place rather than live in fear or under threat.
A: Absent a court order saying otherwise, yes she can. You should immediately take legal action by hiring a lawyer.
