Re: FL moving to NY

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

They might help you if your finances meet their qualifications for assistance. Unfortunately, the demand far exceeds the availability of services, so it may be a long wait before they will even schedule an appointment, let alone help you with your case. The only way you can stop your girlfriend is to file pro se (without an attorney) if you cannot afford one. The appropriate motion can be adapted from the Supreme Court form number 12.941 for Verified Motion for Temporary Injunction to Prevent Removal of Minor Child(ren) and/or Denial of Passport Services as found at:
