Q: Can my ex stop me from moving out of state with the kids, even though she already moved out of state?
My ex moved out of state 2 months after the divorce. 3 years later I got married again and my wife is active duty military, which means we will have to move to another state soon. My ex keep saying she don't want the kids away from her, but she moved to Fl 3 years ago, and has violated the visitation schedule ever since. Only picking up the kids twice since the divorce, and whenever I am able to take them to her.
A:
You and your wife should go to the Base Legal Assistance Office. You are both entitled to free legal assistance. They will have some of the answers there. If they don't, they will have a referral list of local lawyers familiar with military divorces and PCS.
It partly depends on what your divorce documents say about travel or moving out of state.
Unfortunately, the lack of visitation is a separate issue.
