Legal Question in Family Law in California
I have mediation on 12/2/2011 for move away order with my 2 children. Currently my ex husband has suppervised visits 2 weekends a month. i am planning on marrying and moving to Indiana where my fiance is an assistant dean of students at a very prestigious boarding school ( high school) in which my teenage daughter will be able to attend free of charge. what are my chances of getting my order approved. My children are both girls ages 14 and 8.

There is no hard and fast rule on a custody determination concerning a move away case. The court must determine the best interests of the children in assessing their placement. While it is safe to say the less time the non custodial parent has with the children the greater are the chances that the court will allow the primary caregiver to relocate with the children, there are no guarantees this will be your outcome.
