What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
I need help. I am a divorced mother serving in the military. In my divorce decree I was declared the designated custodial parent and my ex husband was granted resonable visitations. My ex husband lives one state over in Tx and I live in LA. The distance between us is about a 6 hour drive. In the last four years my ex's visitation with our child has been very spotty to say the least. He has come to LA to see our child a total of 3 times in the last four years. I have had many discussions with him concerning the lack of visitation to LA to see our child, only for him to tell me that it's just more conveinent for him to see our child when she goes to TX to visit my family. Which is not very often. Maybe once a year for a couple of weeks in the summer. Even then he has a problem driving the 50 miles to get her. He also does not send any birthday or Christmas gifts. In fact this past Christmas he didn't even call. He has never attended any birthday parties or anything. He does however pay child support but that had to be court ordered.
Now my problem is that I have recieved military orders to move out of the country. When I informed my ex husband he threatned to file a motion to have me banned from leaving the states. He also said that he will take me to court for custody. My question is does he have a case? What are the chances of me not being able to take our child to my new duty station with me? Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
