Q: Can I move to Texas while divorce is active?.
I am living in FL with my 6 month year old child but have an active divorce case in GA where her father resides. When I got pregnant I was living in Texas. He and I talked about reconciling and he told me to quit my job sell my stuff & move back home to GA. 60 days I had to wait & during that time he told me not to come back because he was being held responsible to his cheating & he didn’t like that. I was 3 months pregnant with no where to go. That’s how I ended up in FL with my parents. Now I’m ready to move back to Texas but as I stated our divorce is still active in GA. We have no custody agreement, court order or anything.

A: You need to speak with an attorney about your specific situation as you have a case pending. Multiple moves may impact a custody case, so an attorney needs to hear all the facts before giving you advice.
A: I would advise you to hire an attorney. The court will determine whether the child can be removed from multiple jurisdictions and where the child can be taken, especially considering they may be awarding temporary visitation, which will be impacted if you move further away from the other parent.
