What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I have only written one thread before, but I will try again. I do have one specific question.
If the mother is the primary custody parent, can the father take the children out of the state for a vacation? On the divorce papers, all it says is that both parents must be in agreement of where the children go with other and give permision. So far the mother does not want the kids to go with dad out of state. The kids don't want to go either. The oldest, almost 13, doesn't feel safe with her dad and stepmom. She doesn't feel that she will be taken care off.
The father has told the kids so far, without discussion with their mother, that they "will going to New York whether their mother likes it or not" for he is the other parent.
Reasons as to why my sister objects:
1. Prior history of physical child abuse by both the dad and stepmom, despite that they are both cops.
2. The dad does not feed the children and leaves them alone and unsupervised to many times. This is documented by psychologist that the children have told this to. This just happened again this Saturday when the dad lied to my sister and worked all day and left their son home all alone and he played outside in the front yard alone and unsupervised. He didn't have anyone to give his medications to, important medications that he needs to decrease his fluid in his brain, he has hydrocephalus, and he didn't eat breakfast or lunch. His dad arrived at home at 6:30 p.m. The dad lied to my sister and said that his wife was home all day long. The only reason we know the truth is that my niece called her step sister who was with my nephew, her brother, but is also to young to care for him. Both are 9 years old. The step-sister is mentally challenge and acts more like a 5 year old.
Because of these and other reasons, my sister doesn't trust her ex and the stepmom to take care of her children in New York. They are liars and teach the kids to lie. My nephew got home on Saturday and lied as well and said his stepmom was home with him, but later changed his story like three times. He got so confused what he was suppose to tell her. I feel bad for him and when he gets confused he says, "It is complicated."
3. The most important reason of all is the dad has a history of domestic violence with his new wife. She has filed an injunction against him, but later changed her mind, but I read it, she describes him as very violent. She filed a domestic violence against him in another county and I looked up that one which turned out to be a 911 call of a very bad and violent argument he had with this woman, his wife, in front of the children and about the children. He can get very angry and all I heard was a lot of throwing of things and banging of things. He was yelling out my niece and nephew as well in the recording.
