New York,
A friend left her husband. She took her child as well and moved in with her only relative in the US. Meaning she left NY. In order to file where she is There is a 6 month residency requirement. It is believed her Ex is in the process of starting some family court procedure in NY. It is not likely he will find her in order to serve her. That in mind I have 3 questions.
If she remains where she is and meets the 6 month residency requirement, then starts preceedings against him in her New State, will that be voided by the fact that he has started procedures in NY. Or will she be able to proceed where she currently resides...
Secondly, since it is believed he is starting some type of procedure against her. More than likely involving custody of the child. There will be requirement of Legal papers being served on her. It is not likely he will find her and may forge the registered or certified mail to show service. So, should he forge the receipts and She can prove there is no way he could have served her can any previous court decisions be reversed....
Third, should she opt to come back and play along in NY and file for divorce, can the court force her to live in NY even though there is no chance she can afford to live here...Thanks in advance
