This depends on the circumstances. First he has to get custody, which is no easy matter. Than he must provide an argument to the court as to the benefit of the move. Unfortunately, due to the efforts of women's rights organizations, the evidential requires have been significantly decreased. Actually, this would be a good example of the equality movement working.

no you have to stay with the parent that has custody
If there is joint custody of the child then the father should be told by the mother where she is going with the child and for how long. If the mother wants to live in another State the courts will have to decide visitation rights. Example: The father has may have the child one or two weeks during the summer; possibly Christmas or alternative Christmas', etc. If the father does not have joint custody then the mother can leave with the child to another State without his permission, but to be fair to the child the father should be informed unless the father has a criminal record; drugs, etc., and is an unfit father.
If you were given sole custody of your child by a court of law, then that's what it means "sole custody" and the father has no rights, so you are free to move where you want and when you want. However, depending on your circumstances and if the father is a decent sort of guy, I'd at least let him know where you are moving too because you owe it to your child to keep in contact with their father. If the father has been nothing but a problem, then it's best to move on without a word and keep him out of your life. You can do as you wish right now and no, you don't have to let the courts know or your husband at this point. Marcy
This is a poorly worded question, so I will have to answer it in a few scenarios. If you are a minor in your state (anywhere from 14-17 dependant on state) your mother still has control over you - so yes she can stop you. This is true no matter what. OR - do you mean you are not a minor, and you have joint custody WITH your mother? If this was true, she could also block your moving although it would be a lot tougher because she would have to petition the local court (of course if she got joint custody for some reason wherever you leave - that's probably all it would require) OR - do you mean you are not a minor, and you have joing custody with the child's father, even though he is not in the picture? In this case, you could most likely move without trouble from the boys father, so there Is nothing your mother could do to stop you.
It depends on the reasons for moving and the age of the child. How has custody of the child.
no you have to stay with the parent that has custody
That would depend on the state, and who has custody. But I honestly don't think so.
Yes, if he has visitation rights or shared custody, she will need his consent.
If the father agrees, then it's fine. If not, you'll need to involve lawyers.
If he does not have a court order for visitation or custody he can't take him anywhere. If he has partial custody he can take him out as long as it's in agreement with the custody order. He can't take him as in moving away. You should ask your lawyer who knows more about your case.
This is 100% up to the judge. To change the custody agreement or order requires a trip back to court. Would like to add however that moving in with the boyfrind as long as he is not a danger to the kids, is not something that normally changes custody. It's just moving on with life after the divorce.
Maybe. You need a consultation with a lawyer that specializes in family law.
you have the right to make your own desicision if you want to move with your dad make sure you let an authority figure know.
Moving to another state with shared custody requires legal steps. First, review your custody agreement or court order to determine any restrictions or requirements for relocation. If there are none, consult with a family law attorney to understand the legal process in your jurisdiction. It may involve negotiating with the other parent or obtaining permission from the court to relocate. Compliance with applicable laws and court orders is crucial for a smooth transition when moving with shared custody.
If there's a court order, it'd need to be followed. Most court ordered custody will explain about parents moving out of state. If there's no custody order, I'd consider putting one in place before moving. The father could file a custody case in MI, if you leave and he doesn't like it.
No, I don't believe they can. It depends on the agreements of the split custody; if there is split custody. Technically, the law only forbids a parent moving out of state with the child if there is split custody, but if there is full custody, I do believe that its allowed. In any case if you're only visiting, Theres nothing in the law that prohibits you. I grew up with divorced parents, although there were no custody agreements.
Not if you are under 18. Just like your parents had custody of you the state now have custody of you. So when you needed parental consent you now need the state's consent for moving before 18 for instance.
