In Ohio now, my husband got a very, very good job offer in North Carolina
can my exboyfriend (the father of my 2 kids) keep us from moving?

What is your custody agreement?

I have full custody.
He gets them everyother weekend.
There is nothing in our papers about moving.
He has been moving himself back and forth from Indiana for the last 9 yrs.

I don't believe he can stop you from moving. However, figure in the time and expense of the trips for visitation every other weekend to your decision.

He can't stop her from moving, but he can absolutely stop her from taking his children!


smil4me_nu: If you move without getting the Okay from the children's father, he can file a motion to force you to return the children to Ohio.
Save yourself a lot of trouble and ask his permission to move, if he won't give it you need to get permission from court. Be prepared to show how this will be in the best interest of the CHILDREN...Not you and not your husband.

Also, when you ask ex about moving, ask by letter that is mailed by certified return reciept mail.

I thought I would let ALL know what I found out about this...

I talked to a lawyer and a woman at the court house about the OHIO laws on this.

I will have to file a motion to relocate which (cost $100.)
Then he will be sent papers and has 14 days to disagree.
If he disagrees then we will go to court and he can try to get custody.
Which I was informed NOT to worry about. That the court hearing will be more for setting up different visitation since driving 14 hrs one way every other weekend is unrealistic.
I will also have to prove to the court this is in the best interest of the kids.

Just an FYI for anyone else that was wondering the same.
