Legal Question in Family Law in California

Financially Necessary Move-Away

I don't earn enough money to pay rent in CA without substantial C$. Ex just lost his job. C$ will be reduced 85%. Not enough for either of us to live on, except ex has substantial savings/investments/etc and wealthy relatives to help tide him over til the economy turns around.

Kids & I will be homeless within 3 months if C$ remains at 15% of what it used to be. I have an offer of a free home in Missouri for the kids and I. Ex will do anything to make sure we can't leave except increase support - he would rather die than pay support.

Can he force a custody/move away eval even if the ONLY reason to move is financial?

Yes. As long as the reason isn't going to look like your objective is to thwart his visitation with the kids.
