What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
I apologize for posting this additional thread but my previous thread was closed and I was not able to add to it.
I talked (very briefly) to my neighbor tonight who is the family court judge in the next county over from where we live. She told me that what I was told by the attorney yesterday was more or less correct, but that it varies so much that it is hard to predict what would actually happen until taking it to court.
I just wanted to say thanks to all who posted to my original thread - it did make me think about all the possible issues. I have hated for years that she continually hates going back to her dad's and wanted her to have a choice, but I know he isn't abusive and I have to remember she is 13. I love her a lot and just want her to be happy.
At this point I am thinking that I will talk to her dad and see what he says, rather than pursuing anything in court. As for moving, maybe the best thing for me to do is to make as much time as I can to visit relatives who she is really close to. It's been hard with work but it is a priority.
Thanks again -
