can wife move out of state after divorce and take kids with her
in [Divorce]

From: Servo on 16 Sep 2006 20:00 I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. My wife and I have been having problems. Upon discussing divorce my wife says she cannot afford to live here and will move out of state (6 hours away) with her parents (and take the kids with her) to get back on her feet. We have been married from 1992-1994 divorced and then remarried from 1997 to present. She has worked up until 1994, then from 1997-2000, but refuses to go back to work presently. She workes for me and is paid by check but without filing a tax return. I am thinking of waiting 3 years so the kids get more deep rooted here, could that help, keep the judge from granting her wish. Any ideas?

Even that has a possibility of backfiring. It comes down to this, regardless of how much you are 'on your good behavior' and, she is a perennial screw up, the courts are inherently biased towards the mother. What brought about the first divorce and, who initiated it?

To answer your question: Yes, she can, absent a court order to the contrary. You may want to seek a court order directing that she not leave the state with the kids. This may, of course, expose you to the necessity of providing the support that her parents would (alimony).. > I am thinking of waiting 3 years so the kids get more deep rooted > here, could that help, keep the judge from granting her wish. Why is it your decision to wait? Was it your decision to go for the divorce? If so, I would hope that you have sufficient cause... what we refer to as the 4-A's (abandonment, abuse, addiction or adultery, hers not yours)... to justify putting your kids thu this hell, let alone yourselves. =R=

In Texas, the laws are getting better - fairer - not as biased towards the Mother - when my son was around 12, I obtained a Domicile Restriction that limited the CHILD'S RESIDENCE to the current county of residence or a surrounding county - Mom could go anywhere, but my son's residence was limited. I was active in his school, never missed a visitation opportunity, etc. . . .. If you can wait a few years and deepen the kid's roots in the area, that'd help - obviously, make sure that there's no day-to-day problems for the kids between you and Mom. I'd also hook up, now, with a competent attorney - one that has a solid local reputation with the judges that'd be hearing your case, and one that specializes in contested custody situations. He\She can advise you how to prepare for Armageddon . You'll want to be prepared not only as far as positioining things so that your domicile restriction or perhaps custody request will go smoothly, but you'll also want to position you financial affairs so that a divorce won't hurt as much. Ah, the things we do for love . . . "Servo" <tennisusa(a)netzero.com> wrote in message news:1158451204.508754.34520(a)h48g2000cwc.googlegroups.com... >I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old.
