What is the name of your state?Ohio
Wife and I just had final divorce hearing. We have 29 month old child. Both of us found, by the court, to be extremely fit parents. Only dispute in court is Mom wants to get custody and take our child to Florida with her. She has nothing waiting on her there she just said that she doesn't like the weather here and wants to live closer to her cousin in Florida. I, on the other hand, want to keep daughter here in Ohio and most of all want for both parents to be involved in her life to the fullest. Mom states to court that even if court says our child stays here, she is leaving and going to Florida leaving her daughter behind and everything. Now, lets say the magistrate would leave daughter with me and give her Mom extended parenting for 2-3 months per year (the magistrate did say that one of us will get this). Later down the road I think this is too much of an impact on our child only seeing her mother for this little bit of time and decide to make the huge sacrifice and leave family and everything here in Ohio and move to Florida so child can have both parents in her life. As long as I line everything up and have a job and good safe home waiting on us, once I get there, could It end up being reversed on me and I actually get "punished" for making this sacrifice by being forced to switch the right as residential parent over to my wife for some reason. I just dont want this act of unselfishness and sacrifice to come back and bite me in the behind somehow.
