- Q. Can a judge grant me hardship and be able to move my kids out of state?
- A: Relocating children out of the state is a difficult thing to do without the other parent's consent. You will need to file a motion with the Court stating why it is in the children's best interest to be relocated and moved away from one of their parents. Although this is difficult it is not impossible and we have seen many cases where the relocation has been granted by the Court. Remember that the Court will make decisions regarding children by always looking to what is in the best interest of the children. If you can show the Court that this move you are requesting will be in the children's best interest, then you may be able to get your relocation granted.
- Q. I have a couple questions about family custody
- A: A parent cannot move a child out of the child's resident state without either a Court Order or the other parent's consent. I am not certain from your question and fact pattern if the parties already had a Custody Order in place before Mom moved away with the children. If there was a Custody Order in place, then Dad will need to file a motion for contempt and for return of the children. There are legal remedies available to Dad as Mom cannot unilaterally remove the children from the state without either the Dad's consent or a Court Order.
- Q. I filed an ex parte on the other parent for child abuse and neglect on another child. Can I keep child until hearing
- A: If you feel that the child is in danger from being with the other parent due to his current arrest for abuse and neglectful then I would suggest filing a motion with the court for temporary orders before keeping the child away from the other parent. It is never a good idea to violate a current custody Order if one is in place with the court and never a good idea to keep a child away from a parent unless there is a fear of harm to the child and a motion has been filed with the court.
