Legal Question in Family Law in California
I live in Calif. am legally separated and have 1 child with my ex. I want to move to a different state to be closer to my family and my job has agreed to transfer. Can I move with the child, if I've notified my ex of my intentions? Would it be better to file before or after I've moved? What state should / can I file in Calif. or Washington state?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You must file before you move if you have an existing custody and support order, which if you are actually legally separated you must have. I should note, however, that an actual true legal separation is a rare thing. So if you do not have a court ordered judgment of legal separation with provisions for custody and support you should re-post your question with the exact details of the actual official legal status of your marriage and your child custody arrangments.
