What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Currently in IL, moving to TX in November
I am a single Mom of 3 and I am moving to TX from IL in November to be closer to family and to make a better life for myself (college). I have Sole Custody of my two oldest (and I can move with them, no problem there) and I do have permission from my youngest's Father to move to TX. Just a side note: The Father and I get along very well...
Now my questions are...Just want someone to help us in the right direction..
1. Seeing that I am seeking to make the move and removing my child from regular visitation from his Father, how does Child Support work? My Ex (we have never been married) makes approx. $150,000-$200,000 a year while I am currently making $30,000 (whole reason I am going off to school )
2. Obvisously, I can't afford to fly 3 boys to visit my Ex (he is practically Dad to my other two boys, he has known them their entire life- I can afford to fly one of my boys, that is not a problem), so I am giving what I can in assisting in travel arrangements.. Im willing to drive the majority of the way there to help in visitation.. Does this affect child support??
3. What are some other good topics to discuss with my Ex when we have a document written up in regards to my move??
Any advice on whom I should talk with that isn't going to cost a lot of money..
Thank you sooo much!@
