I live in Wisconsin. A few years ago my child support case was closed because my daughter's father was in a snowmobile accident and his chance of working full-time are pretty close to zilch. I was told by the child support agency that if he does get better I can reopen the case. My question is since my child support case is closed do I have to notify the court if I move? I know when I signed my child support paperwork that it was part of stipulation but now that it's close do I need to keep that current? I highly doubt her father will ever recover and before the accident he stopped seeing her on his scheduled visitation days so I know he and his family have no interest in keeping and/or developing a relationship with her. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
I think you're confusing his ability to pay child support with his right to visitation and to know where his child is residing. These are two, distinctly different, issues. The court order ALWAYS remains in effect until changed by a court. Therefore, and despite your opinion about his visitation, doesn't mean he's not entitled to know where his child is. You must give 30 days notice of any move-away. That way, and under the law, that will give him sufficient time to contest your move-away if he chooses. So, you must continue to follow the law, and the previous court order until changed.
