If you have full custody of your grandchildren can you move the kids to another state?

Answer 1

I suggest you get a local attorney where the jurisdiction of the divorce is that has a lot of experience practicing Family Law to see what the local court does in situations like yours. He/she should be able to answer all your question.

My experience in OK is that it doesn't matter what the law says, the lower court judges don't follow it anyway. So you need to know what the local judge does.

Answer 2

Yes. Full custodial rights allow the guardian(s) to make decisions on where they choose to live with the children, medical issues, and so on. However, many states require notice be given to the court that granted the custodianship,or perhaps juvenile social services. In some cases the court will require that the biological parent(s) be notified of the move.

Answer 3

It depends on what type of custody agreement you have with the child's father. If there is visitation set in place and you have joint custody, you cannot move out of state without his permission.

Answer 4

YES YOU CAN . once you have full custody you have the right to move wherever you want to that's the reason you file for custody right...the the reason full custody was ordered to give you full permission to do whatever you want ..the court gave u full custody only because they see you are a fit parent at the time of filing. however the father can file for full custody in the future but i doubt he will get it since the child bee living with you for so many years and you were the sole provider

Answer 5

Yes because when you can move out with or without custody.

Answer 6

Yes.
