About to be screwed
My girlfriend, who lost custody in a bitter court battle, has just learned the ex is going
to sell the house shortly and go overseas to the mideast for a year (maybe more) and take his new wife and the kids along with him. Since he was born over there but now has US citizenship, he may even decide to stay there permanently. He'll be making over $300k annually tax-free working for a major US insustrial firm, and it's a terrific incentive not to return to the states. My girlfriend and he currently have a custody agreement where she has them on alternate weekends but he's the custodial parent. Consequently she's about to lose any visitation with her kids unless she flies back and forth over there to see them. Is there any legal leg to stand on that might keep him from taking the children out of the country?? Don |

Custody laws are state dependent. If your girlfriend lives in California, for example, the "Burgess Decision" (which you can search out on google.com) determined that the NCP has to prove that it is *not* in the child's best interest for the CP to remove the child from the area. The law used to be opposite (the CP had to prove that it was in the child's best interest to move them out of the area). b. |

The burden of "proof" should be on the parent making the move, but that doesn't answer the OP's question. Sounds a little too subjective to be provable, anyway. |

Don Not serious issues with the mother, just that he was able to pony up more than $40,000 in legal fees to get what he wanted. He also socialized with the family court judge, which should be some conflict of interests, but in Alabama just about anything goes. |
