Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
divorced, children and relocation.......
My fiance has three kids with her ex. We met a couple years after her divorce. We lived together for two years in Denver and I accepted a job in Texas. She couldn't stay in Denver financially. The ex signed for her to go to Illinois by her parents, the kid's grandparents. She wants herself and the kids to be with me in Texas, but was ''herded'' to Illinois. She has full custody of the kids but he would only sign for her to go to Illinois (not Texas) out of spite. He hasn't paid child support for months and his kids will be a long ways away in either TX or Il. We have been apart now for a month. We want to be together in Texas out of love and financial stability for her and the kids. Without being together she is having an extremely hard time making it financially. The ex will allow her to move a little further away to IL, but not to TX? What can she do to be able to move to Texas to be more secure and give a better life for the children? Will the ex have control over where she can live until the kids are 18? This is making things a lot harder for her and the kids. Even getting the little child support she would have a hard time. What are our options to get out of this ''pickle''? To get married? Or what? Thanks

Re: divorced, children and relocation.......
Your best option is to get married and then she can move to Texas. No judge will break up a marriage over moving children of a divorced couple out of state. The husband doesn't have control, the judge does. Did he go to court to get an order, or is he bluffing and intimidating you?
