Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Wanting fresh start with my kids.
I have a CPO on my boys father
and I was wanting to move to
another state where my boys can
get the help they need and it will
be a fresh start for all of us. I was
wondering how to go about doing it
and will the father be able to stop
me? With a CPO on him he has lost
his legal rights, so does that over
see the divorce paper's?

Re: Wanting fresh start with my kids.
You do not supply enough information to fully answer your question. Best advise is to confer with a lawyer and have the lawyer review the CPO and the custody decree. If you are divorced, there probably is mandatory language in your decree requiring you to provide notification to the court about a move. If there s no other court involvement, you can probably leave, but if a divorce is filed, you may have to return the kids to the jurisidiction of the court. Please call a lawyer. Good luck.
