Q: Q: My daughter in Oahu is trying to get full custody of her 3 daughters and wants to move back to Nebraska.
She has been in Hawaii for 12 yrs and very seldom gets to come back home. She is in a battle for full custody so she and the girls can move back with family. but they are asking her to do the unreasonable. Such as secure a high paying job, secure a home, make sure the schools have a high rating, etc. How can she do all this from Hawaii? She already has a job if she comes home but the court is saying the pay isn't good enough. She has a place to live also but they are arguing that the apartment isn't big enough. She has done everything they have asked but her lawyer said she is fighting a losing battle. We feel her ex husband and the court appear to be holding them hostage. Is there anything her family here on the mainland can do to help her?
A: If her case is in Hawaii, she would need to consult with an attorney in Hawaii for what you can do to help improve the odds of winning her case.
