Legal Question in Family Law in New York
Custody Adjustment
I entered into a divorce agreement with my ex-wife in 1997 in Illinois. We have joint custody of our daughter. Neither of us can move from Illinois, or the agreement is violated. My question is, can we make a new agreement to live in another state? We both want to move to New York state, but we don't want to lose custody. Can we re-do the agreement, so that it is binding in New York state instead of Illinois?

Re: Custody Adjustment
Hello. In my opinion you
should be able to get the
court to go along with
your desire, if you file a
motion for removal of your
child to New York and you
properly present it as
an agreement between you and
your ex-spouse. However,
I would not suggests trying
to represent yourself; hire
a lawyer to lead the way!
