What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Vermont and New Hampshire
Hi,
I live in Vermont. I am a non-custodial mother. It has only been 4.5 months since I separated from my husband. Before that, I was the primary stay-at-home caregiver to my now almost 8-yr-old child. When I left, I made sure that I took up residence in the same state. I did not take my child because of the good school and was in a household with another child that my child has known since toddlerhood and considers a brother. Now, my ex and the others are planning to move across the border to NH. They will actually be closer to me in physical distance, but I am concerned that this will hold legal ramifications during the custody process because of the crossing of state lines. Up until this point, we have been in agreement about trying for shared custody, but I'm not sure what my rights are in this position.
Should I be allowing this without contest? Should I take some sort of action? Would it be advisable to avoid divorce procedings after this? Does this put me at legal risk?
