Notify father if moving from Colorado to Kentucky as never married mom?
A neighbor gave me a set of facts and asked me to see what I could
find on the Internet. Her daughter is planning on moving from Colorado to Kentucky and she is thinking she may need a lawyer. All I want to be able to tell her is why she'll need a lawyer and what statute necessitates her need for a lawyer? Below are the facts as they were explained to me: ===== ===== ===== My main question is will I need a lawyer? I'm not married to the man but he does pay child support. I did do a little online research and I more or less decided that if I was married to the man then this finding might apply: "[H]ire a Child & Family Investigator to conduct an investigation and make a recommendation to the court whenever one of the parents wishes move away from the geographic area where the other parent lives." Source: http://johnsonlawcorp.com/pages/relocation.html There is a lot of information re Colorado relocation situations on the web, here, at http://www.coloradodivorcemediation....ustody%20cases, but while the word "unmarried" is included in this info there is no specific case law or statute mentioned that applies specifically to unmarried people. I only found one "official" Colorado form that addresses this situation and also mentions unmarried parents, but the particular law that requires the use of this form is not mentioned. Here is a link to the form: http://www.courts.state.co.us/chs/co...ic/jdf1421.pdf This form is also mentioned in an advice handbook for Colorado parents called "Connecting With Your Kids." See: http://www.coloradofoundation.org/pd...ishVersion.pdf. Now I am ready to move and all I want to know is whether I am required to give the father any official notice or is it okay to just move and let the child support authorities make sure my support checks are forwarded to my new address? ===== ===== ===== The info above is everything my neighbor (the maternal grandmother) told me about her daughter and granddaughter. She knows I get on the Internet a lot so she asked me if I'd mind taking a look to see what I could find, especially if her daughter will need a lawyer and if so where does it say so. I decided to ask here because I am reckoning someone will know the answer without even thinking twice about it and will be able to cite a particular statute that demands notice be given or a statute that says no notice need be given. If this isn't the right newsgroup for this question do you have any suggestion what group might be better? Thanks. Jan |
