Q: Will judge allow me to relocate with my child if husband is joining Army?
I have sole legal decision and sole physical custody of my daughter my ex had supervised visits every other Saturday my ex husband is 16,000$ behind in child support, has domestic violence charges but wants 50/50 custody now (after he has gone two years without seeing her) will I be able to move with my husband and relocate if he joins the army?
A: Possibly, but you WILL need to petition the Court to modify your current child custody order. You will have to make a case to the Court that your move is in your child's best interests. The fact that the ex has not been availing himself of his right to parenting time and is in arrears will support your case.
Jay Hall agrees with this answer
A: From the information you have provided it appears as though you have solid grounds for requesting relocation with your daughter. However, relocation matters are complicated and need to be handled carefully. You should contact an experienced Family Law attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.
