What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My girls are 11 & 12. I live in a county that ranks 66th out of 72 in terms of school districts. I have always intended to move my girls before they have to enter any of the D or F high schools they are slated to go to. In full disclosure, I have been separated from my 2nd husband for 1 & 1/2 years. A year ago I started dating a boyfriend from 20yrs ago and we are now in a very promising relationship-both thouroughly in love. I have been unemployed for 2yrs(actively looking for 1yr). My boyfriend lives in a school district that ranks 7th out of the 72, with all of the high and middle schools rated A. He has been able to find 3 likely jobs for me w/i 2 days of leisurely searching. I want to move there with my girls prior to the school year starting and their father is against the move because of his visitation. I understand his concern completely and sympathize, but I have to put my girls education first and foremost. In saying that I would like to clarify that I would continue his every other weekend visits (hoping that he could meet me 1/2 way) and I am willing to work with the other holidays such as Spring Break, which he does not have now. The move is 150miles north and 2hrs 15min. I have bought laptops with webcams so they can talk daily-face to face. I am not trying to be selfish, but I want to move my girls. (also to note: he has been in the arrears for 5 yrs and has been non-compliant with CSE for 13 months, knowing I am in financial trouble-living off the sale of my house while looking for a job)What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
My question is regarding the realistic potential to relocate the girls. Is it going to be a difficult fight? I have supporting documentation on all of the county by county comparisions showing significant improvement-crime stats, school grades, etc
