Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: stopping parent from leaving state

As long as she does not violate the terms of the decree, she can move. However, you might want to consult with a local attorney to discuss the viability of a Motion to Modify in an attempt to stop her from keeping the child from you.

Re: stopping parent from leaving state

As of now, the terms of the support/visitation order would control. As long as she does violate its terms, i.e. the order does not allow her to move out of state without your permission or at all, she may move of state. If you wish to modify the order, you can petition the court to do so, but you will need a change in circumstance or some other good reason.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
