Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: soon to be exwife wants to move out of county with kids

At first glance I would say that it is unlikely, but that does depend upon the judge. That is a difficult question to answer since there are many factors that go into a judges decision to allow a parent to move away from the other parent. You are best to talk with an attorney who handles child custody matters who can go over all of the factors and the tendencies of the judges in your county. I recently taught a seminar to attorney's on move away requests and can tell you that many no one should give you a straight yes or no answer to the question, but they can give you some good direction and preparation for the requests. If she thinks she is going to move in the next two months she is sadly mistaken. You should file a motion to request that she be prevented from moving before she attempts to just up and move.

Good Luck, Pat McCrary
