Q: My wife and I are getting divorced we've been separated since March. She's moving to Canada on Wednesday
Before asking for a divorce and even being physically separated she had a emotional affair with a man in Canada who she knew from when she was younger who she is now in love with and moving to live with. She gave me notice of this last Wednesday and she wants to be able to take my son there during the summers. What are the risks of having an agreement like this where she has him during the summer time and I have him during the school year. How do I protect myself as a parent and not let her take custody of him completely while he in Canada?

A:
The risks of having an agreement where your wife has custody of your son during the summers while you have custody during the school year may include potential disruption to your son's education and family life. To protect yourself as a parent and maintain your parental rights, it is crucial to work with a family law attorney to negotiate a custody agreement that prioritizes your son's best interests, ensuring a stable and suitable living arrangement for him while considering the international relocation aspect. Seeking legal guidance will help you navigate the complexities of child custody laws and protect your parental rights during and after the divorce proceedings.
