Ex wants me to stay in NY

[nybomb00]

I was never married to my daughter's father. I am the custodial parent. My ex has entered in a petition stating that I have violated our visitation order. He is stating that I refused to let him see my daughter on her birthday. Our visitation order does not state anything as far as her birthday goes. That particular weekend was my weekend. He gets her every other weekend. He is also requesting that I do not move 150 miles from where I am now.

I do not understand how he can request this due to the fact that we were never married. I have never indicated that I would move. But my thoughts are, how could I tell what will happen in the future. In the event that I may get married and my husband wants to move, am I supposed to tell him I can't because of my ex? Or I could be offered a new job making more money that would benefit me and my daughter.

Can someone please help me?

when you go to court you will have to prove you have not violated the visitation order. as far as the move goes, if you are staying in the same state there should be no problem with the move, particularly if it is bettering yourself and child. i would suggest that if you did move, agree to meet half way paying your own expense. if you were to be moving out of state then he can fight that as well and you would each have to prove to a judge why it would be a good move or a bad move. but again, in moving out of state, agree to meet half way at your own expense.

also, when you go to court at this same time visitation will most likely be modified to hopefully suit all parties involved.

check with the laws in your state though.
