Re: Coustody when one parent moving out of state
Slow down. Does her decree have a geographical residency restriction? Most decrees in the past 10 years contain such a provision.
How old is the assault? Did it involve the child as a victim or witness?
Generally speaking, when a modification is sought, the judge has little interest in behavior that predates the most recent court order on the subject.
The judge will look at the totality of the circumstances, and is bound by the code to make a decision in the best interest of the child.
Your wife should consult an attorney.
