But i dont have to proove anything to anyone who (as it was stated to me the other day) googles to find out stuff ;)

Residency requirements are different for different things. That would be the whole point of the diatribe that went on in the other thread. Domestic Relations (or whatever its called in different states) is different than residency for driver's licenses, hunting licenses, or the right to vote.

D. The court shall grant a party's application for change of venue when the court determines that it is an
inconvenient forum under the circum stances and the court in another county is a more appropriate forum
consistent with the factors in subsection B of Section 551-207 of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and
Enforcement Act after substitution of the word "county" for the word "state" in such section of the act, and
transfer is requested to the county where the applying party resides in the state.

no where did I say I got the jurisdiction changed in 30 days.. I stated that after 30 days here you are a legal resident here you and your children.. once you are a legal resident you can file for it.. it does not take 6 months to get residency in OK.. after 30 days you are a legal resident here..
Wrong. Just another example of you giving misleading and/or incorrect information.

For purposes of voting, residency is 30 days. For purposes of divorce, it's 6 months:
Oklahoma Divorce Source: Residency Requirements for Divorce: Oklahoma
(Hint: I live in OK and just dealt with it).

Now, it is possible that in some circumstances, particularly if the ex no longer has ties to the original state or is deceased, and if there's a good reason to need to change jurisdiction, that you might be able to get an exception. But since none of those extenuating circumstances apply to OP, it's irrelevant.

That's for sure. Not even a week after moving back to Bama in '77, my parents changed their licenses to Bama from Texas. :cool:
Drivers' licenses work differently - at least in OK. In OK, you are required to change your drivers' license within 30 days. You could legally change it the first day after you move into the state.

I'm not sure why jekyl thinks that has any relevance to divorce proceedings, though.

And which of the exceptions to Federal law applied in your case? Was ex deceased or no longer in the original state?

Umm I dont.. I am not even the one who brought up drivers license.. someone else did.. nor do divorce proceedings have anything to do with this either.. I did it how I did it with a lawyer.. and it was all legal.. I love it how people try to put words into others mouths lol

neither.. ex is not deceased and does still live in original state.. but you guys think you know it all.. lol.. also let me repeat, I did not tell her she would get it.. I said she could file for it.. big difference.. and she has even said so herself that I did not mislead her and that I accurately answered her question.. but me and rockmommy are wrong, not you guys huh? I laught at that lol ;)

Yeah, sure, okay. You and your lawyer managed to circumvent state law. Either you lied to him or he lied to the court. And now that we have a name and an address, he can be reported to the OK Bar. :rolleyes:

I, also, know a few things about move-aways and changing jurisdiction. Because I did both.

In the situation posted, move-away was granted, and that was never really a question. Yes, I made a comment about OP moving her child away from Dad, but that did not detract from the fact that OP had the court's permission to do so.

In MY situation, my moving *with the children* was a stipulation of the settlement. Had I actually REFUSED to move away from my kid's Dad? We would have continued a full, blow-out, contested custody case. I'd said all along that I would happily stay in the area as long as he did. He moved shortly after, so I guess he had an inside scoop I wasn't privy to. And therefore, jurisdiction was changed - although my current state wasn't keen to accept it. It was my ex that pushed it. Go figure.

ETA Oh wait... he didn't realize that CS would remain based on the originating state's laws.
Just for the record, I didn't think that you were beating any dead horses.

jerkyl? Go back to the cave. Thanks.
stealth go back to school and learn some etiquette instead of making yourself try to feel superior by putting others down just because all you can give is opinions instead of facts or actual things that people can do legally ;)

How is it that on January 12th you lived in NC, and now you live in OK?

POA and Guardianship

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina

My boyfriend is National Guard and is going overseas to afghanistan.. He has full custody of his 2 year old son.. The biological mother has not seen her son in almost 2 years and has very little to almost no contact with him.. My boyfriend gave me POA and Guardianship over his son why he is away and if something was to happen to him.. I am wondering if the biological mom can just drop back into his life and take him away from me while my boyfriend is overseas? The judge took custody away from her in Pennsylvania after she wouldnt follow the court order of shared custody.. He told her if she wanted visitation or her rights back to see him she would have to file for it again through court.. that was almost 2 years ago and she hasnt done that.. Could someone please help me find out what she could or couldnt do? I have raised him since he was only 6 months old and I concider him one of my own children.. it would break my heart to lose him to her when she has never really been there for him.. Thanks

OP, I reside in Oklahoma and moved here almost 2 years ago.. if the court says you can move then after living in Oklahoma for 30 days you can file through Oklahoma to have your custody case moved to Oklahoma.. (I know cuz I did it) by oklahoma law after 30 days your child is a resident of Oklahoma if they spend more than 50% of their time with you and you are the primary custodial parent.. does not mean they will move it, but you can file for it to be moved and heard in court as to why you want it moved here..
