Legal Question in Family Law in California
I have a friend in Los Angeles who has a child and is wanting to move back home to Minnesota. Unfortunately the dad who has DUIs is trying to seek sole custody. What can my friend do to get herself and son back to Minnesota? what does she need to bring to the courts?

She should start by bringing an experienced family law attorney to court with her who handles cases in the complex world of California child custody move away cases. This situation is not a "what boxes on the forms do I check " question. Your friend and her child deserve the protection that a battle hardened attorney can provide.
Ms. Kock is entirely correct. Move-away cases are not for amateurs, especially if the other side has an attorney. Furthermore, all child custody cases are decided on the specific facts of each case. So there is NO way you or your friend are going to get any really useful help on the internet.
