If you leave without filing for divorce, he has the right to file and seek the return of the children. If you file for divorce here, you then cannot leave unless he agrees or Court permits. There are risks with leaving without notice, and there can also be advantages.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gina or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
