Q. my kids mom is trying to take my kids to Texas we both share custody of my two kids can she??

A: She made a move away/relocation request with the court. These are some of the most challenging cases in family Court due to the consequences of the court’s order. I’m confident her attorney knows the rules, etc. You should hire an attorney for this case since you may not know the details for the analysis. If she is allowed to move, you may have to pay a high amount of child support since your custody will be minimal. Consult with a family lawyer right away, and file paperwork with the court quickly since you don’t want it being untimely.

Q. My ex-husband decided to move to Riverside county 1 1/2 hours away from my home in San Diego County, which is not in the

A: It’s possible to revisit custody, but consult with a family lawyer before doing anything. Generally moves like this should be evaluated carefully. If he took the kids with him on a primary basis, you should probably act quickly. If you have primary custody, the judge will probably state that the receiving parent picks up even if Dad is in Riverside. I have seen judges order the receiving parent pick up on alternate weekends when one parent lives in Arizona. Both parents can agree on a meeting place, but that may not happen if there’s no agreement. Definitely consult with a lawyer.

Q. My son's father and i have a verbal agreement when it comes to custody but recently he has no where to live.

A: Each case is unique. How he spends time with the children is critical. You can most likely come to a temporary agreement until he has a place to live. He has custody and visitation rights. Ask him where he intends to stay with the children if doesn’t have a place. The court will make temporary orders if a parent files a request for order for child custody and visitation. The court will make permanent orders (subject to modification) when the time is right. Most family lawyers offer a free initial consultation.
