Q: If a parent moves outta state shouldn't that change the visitation ?
Since we went to court a year ago she has quit her job, gotten divorced, and moved outta state(8 hr round trip if no delays) and she still wants to come get him every other weekend and take him back to where she lives now (at a camp ground)......she bailed on him before he turned 3 and has only been back in his life a couple years now and he is 10.
A: If you want to spend a lot of money on a lawyer to try to keep her from from your son from his mother who has been “in his life” for the past 2 years, no drug use, nothing but poverty AND despite her poverty she is willing to drive 4 hours 1-way to spend time with her son - you’d better have a lot of money! It sounds to me like the better option would be for you to call her up and offer to meet her 1/2 way and even give her some cash for TRYING to stay in her son’s life, rather than filing a Petition to Modify Custody in order to WHAT?! TAKE HER WEEKENDS AWAY FROM HER?!
