Eustis, FL asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Florida

Q: My exhusband is trying to send my kids to live with his mom in a different state for the school year. Can he do this?

He lives in Colorado, I live in Florida, our case jurisdiction falls in Colorado. He has decision making. But he wouldn’t be going with the kids. Him and his fiancé were kicked out so they sent our 2 kids and their 1 child to live with his parents in Kansas for the school year.

A: I'm pretty sure the courts in Colorado would not be ok with him sending the children to live with third parties over a parent. Unfortunately, you will have to get an attorney in COlorado to assist you since I'm assuming that is the home state of the children for the last six months.

Good luck!
