Can I move out of state?

What is the name of your state? Indiana
I have custody of my daughter. Her father always pays his support and gets her for visitation. Is it possible for him to legally keep me from moving to Florida with her?

Not you, but he can certainly consent to his child moving.

You have to file a notice of relocation with the court to move the daughter to Florida. He can object. Unless the move is in the BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD then it will not be approved. But you can move whenever you want.

Now, why on earth would you want to take your child away from a father who is paying his support on time and being very involved with her?

You can certainly try and move and he can fight it, he may win or not. But seriously, think about what your doing before you choose to move.

Meaning that YOU are free to move. You might not be free to also move the child, especially if they have a regular relationship with the other parent in which they see them regularly.

If the court DOES approve the move, expect to be made responsible for the added financial cost of visitation to IN, and that your children with spend long stretches of time with their father, to "make up" (like it ever could) for the EOW visitaion they will be missing. Meaning most of winter and spring break each year and most of summer.

Now, a show of hands.

How many do NOT believe this move is for a newer model of boy toy?

If he was willing to do that, it wouldn't be an issue - would it?

So it is for your man? Good to know.

Here's what you're going to have to proove. That the move will so benefit the child that it will more than make up for losing regular contact with her father. That the raise in pay that your husband will receive (or the cost of living will be so much less) that you will be able to pay for all transportation in order to facilitate frequent visitation. That you are willing to give up all extended school vacations, most of your Christmases, Thanksgiving, and the majority of summer vacations (and don't forget you'll be paying for the trips).

After you've proven all of that... be prepared for the judge to say no.

No it's not for my man, it's for our family. My husband and I also have a two month old daughter. We are all a family. It's not like I want to take my daughter away from her father. I can't help what has happened and will do my best to keep my daughters relationship with her father as strong as it is now. Her well being and happiness is most important here. I asked a question for advice not for peoples remarks or opinions.
