Re: Can a mom leave a state with her children
The general rule is that the parent may take the children and leave the state if it is necessary for the safety of the parent or the children. Since his father is a law enforcement officer you may have difficulty convincing the court that you and the children were in danger. However, the particular facts in you living arrangements and other factors would have to be taken into condiseration and evaluated. Discuss the facts with an attorney or a domestic violence counselor.
