California.
I was awarded sole legal and physical custody in a 3 year restraining order last year. Since then my financial situation has deteriorated. I am unable to find employment and have been looking for nearly 1 yr. The only jobs I can find are for just over minimum wage, not enough to support my daughter in most places in our state.
I've requested a motion to move so that I can go back to school to become an RN. I'm going to move with my sister in another state. My ex currently has e/o/weekend. I'm afraid that the judge will not allow this move and force us to stay here. In which case I will not be able to afford rent let alone provide food or child care for my daughter. She is 9 yrs old and has lived with me for all 9 yrs.
What are the chances of the judge denying my request? My ex is unemployed and is in the process of losing his house. He has no financial means to care for her. Remember, I have a DV RO on him.
