Q: If a father is on supervised visitation, can the mother move to a different state w/o reporting to court
the youngest daughter (13) wants to move with her dad so the mom moved from Texas to Florida without telling anyone. How do the visitation work with this situation? And was the mother supposed to report that she was moving?
A:
It depends on your current court order. Usually, most orders contain a geographical restriction which orders that the custodial parent cannot move the child away.
You should immediately call me or consult with an attorney of your choosing. You have options. I am well versed on this issue.
Good luck!
A: If there is a court order in place, read the court order to see what is allowed. If the move is not allowed under court order then hire an attorney to enforce the order and make the mother return to Texas with child.
