My daughters father and I have been divorced for 3 yrs, I had my son with my now husband. My husband is from TX and his family is from there as well. He has had multiple offers from his old job (well paying as well) to move back and work for that company. My daughters dad has just now in the past month been made by the court to pay CS and he gets her on his off days (Friday-Sunday). Mind you we have to go back to court because the info he gave is not correct.
My question is has anyone moved out of state and how well did it go about?
We have offered and will re offer him a agreement if he agrees with the move- no child support, he will get her spring break, summer break , thanksgiving and Christmas break. We will pay for the plane tickets (for myself and her to fly to him and hers and his ticket back). He will get to see her more this way to because when she starts school this fall he will get her every other weekend.
@beebaby, I'm trying to be fair on both sides not for us but for her. I mean I'm giving the whole summer to him, spring break and even the holidays thanksgiving and Christmas! Plus no child support
@beebaby for us this was the only way to do it . Hubby's ex is a manipulative you know what . The only way he could get what he deserved was to get the courts to force it in her. Otherwise she wouldn't let him see his daughter unsupervised. For no reason other than she thought he was obnoxious.
@genesismommy26 then in your petition to modify I would state then that you would like to move and the visitation you would like because of the move
@dmm1976, right now it's how it has been since we separated, we have to modify it this upcoming month since she starts school.
@beebaby, he agreed last time but then his girl friend threw a fit and changed his mind, this was in Dec. His old boss called this week and re offered him again. So we have to bring it up to him again. It's hard because you want to do what's best.
He has changed since he got with his gf, he said he shouldn't pay child support and ask if I could tell the court he has her more so the CS would be less....
It depends on your state and the current custody order. But usually you have to tell the court you are moving, and serve dad. He can then either contest it or not and the court has the final say.
You have to get permission from the father and courts. If so you have split custody where the child stays with dad during certain times of the year and you other times depending on who is the custodial parent. They basically will weigh what is in the best interest of the child.
In my case we had to go back to court just to move to another country. Neither patent is allowed to go out of state for any stays unless the court grants it. Get with a lawyer. Yall can agree outside of court and he can get mad and take you back to court. Good luck
