Q: My ex and I have a temp order that ends in Aug. He begged me and begged for a year to let him move back to Texas
With the kids. I broke and let him. Now with me having same job same home for yrs and he had moved 4 times and was engaged twice within a year shows me he is unstable. What are my chances if getting full custody?
A:
There is much confusion about what "custody" actually means.
If there is an active case in Indiana for either Paternity or Divorce, then any party wanting to move out of Indiana is going to have the burden of explaining why that move is in the child's best interests.
The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines already has guidance on how "distance as a factor" could impact parenting time if one parent moves far away from the other parent.
You should consult with a local attorney as to the best strategy for you in your specific circumstances.
