Re: ready to start over..again
The answer to your question depends on so many things that it is not possible to give you a specific answer. Three of the things, for example, are: Why do you want to leave the state? How often does your spouse see the kids since you separated? What are the attitudes of the judge who will hear your case?
Re: ready to start over..again
The answers to your questions will depend on the court
you are in. Some courts restrict the children to the
county of suit (or county and surrounding counties), but
other courts will allow the children to leave the state.
Your reason for wanting to leave and the relationship
between the father and children will also be important.
