Q: I have 2 boys with my ex and i was planning to move to Georgia after 4 yrs my ex shows up at my door. Can i still leave
My ex threw his son and my 2 girls out of our RI home while i was pregnant because he met someone and cheated. So i moved to my sister for a few months and decided i needed a better life for my kids and start fresh so i moved to Florida in 2016. I have tried to let him communicate with his child but he doesn't respond. So i let that go seeing how if he wanted anything to do with them he would contact me. Which he didn't. I moved in with my mother who helped me with my pregnancy i was having a tough time with my pregnacy im sure i could get medicals for. After 4 yrs he shows up at my door asking to see the kids now i dont mind him seeing the kids but i want it done through the courts. He smokes weed and a drinker thats why i would like the court involved he shiwed up at my door that it would be in my best interest to let him see the kids now. My boyfriend is a truck driver an has the opportunity in Georgia so we were planning to move there. No father is listed on the birth certifi
A: Yes, you can still leave unless he first files a lawsuit for visitation or custody. When he kids have been in Georgia for six months, assuming he hasn't filed by then, jurisdiction would be in that state.
