I have a question in regards to my 14 year daughter. My ex-wife and divorced when she was 5 years and our final judgement from the courts was we had shared rotating custody. So basically I had her for a week then she had her for a week. We also rotated holidays as well. This went on for 9 plus years. Now, as of last November I was offered a promotion at my Job that required me to move to the sate of New Jersey. After a extremely difficult decision I decided to take the job and filed a temporary petition to relocate with my daughter. Now because I had to move quickly on moving myself, wife and 3 other children to new jersey, and find a house and move in. Now, while up her I filed a petition to relocate with my daughter. I also filed a long distance parenting plan as well. The judge told us that we should try mediation which that didn't work either. Now we are scheduled to go to our final hearing at the end of August. I will be flying down to attend it. My question is what do I need to come prepared with to have any chance at winning this case? Also I don't have a lawyer. I cant really afford one. Will lesson my chances of winning? My daughter is currently living in Florida until everything is figured out. I have a lot of legitimate reasons why its in my daughters best interest to move.
Thanks
