What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pa. My situation stems from a nasty divorce and shared custody of a minor child. My daughter and her new blended family have an opportunity to move from Pa. to Ga. but the ex won't allow his minor child to move with the family. The daughter and her husband have been out of work for a year and a half and now the real prospect for a job and the promise of a house to rent has come up. Right now, this family of 7 resides in a basement apt. that has mold/mildew in a house that is waiting for foreclosure. The daughter cannot afford an attorney and is on the waiting list for legal aid to try and overturn an order that she cannot leave the state with the minor child. The ex won't discuss the situation in a rational manner but instead plays on the emotions of the minor child by crying to her and saying how much he would miss her if she goes. The little one has said "I want to go with Mommie, but Daddy cries!" The daughter is torn between leaving this one child for the sake of her family as a whole or letting this one bitter ex-husband dictate the life she leads. The ex has already said he would never allow the child to move permanently and would only allow the mother 6 weeks visitation during the year. I fear that leaving the younger one would irreparably damage her emotionally, but this opportunity for the family cannot be ignored. Are there any lawyers who will help you first and then let you pay them in installments? We need advise ASAP.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
