What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY. I am a grandparent with joint legal/physical custody with my daughter of grandchild, order also states "any and all visitation is suspended" with regards to the father. They were not married but there is a Acknowledgement of Paternity. Grandson has lived in my home since birth, I am the primary caregiver. The father who recently was released from prison (2 felony assaults of police officer, mis. reckless endangerment 2nd and misdemeanor endangerment of minor) wants to visit. He hasn't seen child since Oct. 2013, my grandson was 2 at the time. Grandson does not remember his father. I have plans to relocate to another state, my daughter has consented to the relocation (she is a drug addict and will be soon be serving 6 months in county jail for DUI).
Do I have to allow visits or should I insist on court ordered? Do I have to have fathers consent to relocate?
Thank you
- The reason to relocate is my husband is looking for a better job and he is the main support for the family. My grandson is also covered under my husband's health insurance.
