Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Child Custody and Support
My ex-wife and I have Joint custody in
Illinois. She wants to move back to New
York. Is there a law against her leaving
the state with my daughter, and if there is
and I give her my consent and we agree
that she will not raise my child support,
can I get the no raise of child support in
legal documentation in court. If so, can
New York law override a court order of
no more raise in child support in the
future?

Re: Child Custody and Support
She can leave the state for short periods but not for good without the court's blessing. You two CANNOT agree as to child support going up or down, since the court will ONLY take the best interest of the child into account. New York will not have jurisdiction over this matter (at least given the facts you presented).
Let me know if you need more help.
