So, you're leaving the state without my consent?

My fiancee recently terminated visitation with his three year old son. Now, he has NOT terminated parental rights to him. We have heard rumors that she is moving from PA to FL. Can she go without notifying us first? I had heard that she could get a judge's permission and go, but would we be notified in any way? It is written in our custody order that she must notify him 24 hours prior to moving and furnish him with the new address and phone#. If she moves and does not get our permission, what can we do in the way of charges (violating a court order? Kidnapping? ??? What can we do?) She thinks that she can make all of the decisions and never have to answer to anyone. We need to knock her off her pedastal.

If your fiancee terminated his visitation, why do you care where she moves to if she has permission ?

In answer the question, she needs either his written permission or a court order given her permission. Either must be done 30 days prior to a move. It is during this time that you re-discuss your visitation schedule and possible payment of travel experience by her. However, since your fiancee does not care to see the child then that is irrelevant.

She said that it states in the custody papers that all the mother has to do is let them know 24 hours before the move...So does she still have to get "written" permission or a judges permission to move?

It depends on whether it just says 24 hours prior to move, or specifically indicates just within the state or outside of the state. If it actually says that all what is needed is 24 hours notice to move out of state with no further written permission then she is ok.. providing she gives them 24 hours notice..

However, you would have to be insane to put into a custody agreement that the CP only has to give 24 hours notice, no written permission is needed and they can move where they want, when they want.

To me this is irrelevant.. he does not want visitation so let her go, pay the monthly support and let each party get on with their lives.

I agree..Something has happend between the parties that is possibly quite disturbing if the father has dropped all visitation..If they aren't excercising the visitation then her move will not affect them one bit..
