== PREPARATION, PREPARATION, PREPARATION see link below== It will need to be filed in the state that has, or has retained jurisdiction. If that's your state, when you file, the other parent may attempt to transfer jurisdiction, so your beginning fight may be to retain jurisdiction in your state, which may take time as it moves up through the appeals process. States like Colorado and Florida are known for yanking jurisdiction, even when it does not meet the UCCJA requirements. Also, a common way for the other state to get emergency jurisdiction is through a false allegation, so watch what you say to her. Of note, if she lives in Texas, you may want to file there, as you can get a Jury Trial, which substantially increases your chances.

Can a parent who has primary custody move with their children to another state if so what is the primary custodial parents responibility to the non custodial parent?
In some states, if the custodial parent moves more than 65 miles "as the crow flies" from the original address at the time of the custody agreement and does not get written permission to do so from the non-custodial parent, the court can (and sometimes will) remove the child and place him/her with the non-custodial parent. At that time the non-custodial parent will be given full custody of the child and even if the first parent moves back, they probably will not regain custody again.
Can a non custodial parent get emergency custody from a custodial parent if the custodial parent is giving child adhd medication against physician orders?
The noncustodial parent would have to call the state's child abuse hotline and report this to them, and then await their instructions on how to gain custody of the child if they should be taken away from the parent.
When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
If you are the custodial parent are you required to give your child's social security number and other personal information to the non-custodial parent if you don't wish to collect child support?
If both of the parents have a joint legal custody arrangement, you have to give the noncustodial parent that information. If you have sole custody of the child, you do not have to share that information with the noncustodial parent.
What do you about support when you are the non-custodial parent and the custodial parent wants to hand over the child to you?
They can't simply "give the child to you." You need to return to the court and have the custody order modified so you'll have legal custody. It will go easier if the current custodial parent consents to the modification. At that time the current support order should be terminated and you can request child support if you wish.
What constitutes custodial parent in reference to child support?
The custodial parent is the parent with custody/guardianship of the child.
