If my divorce agreement does not say any restrictions on me and my daughter moving, does that mean we can? I want to move 5 hours south but still in GA. I am just worried that my ex might get upset and decide he wants to get her for half the year. I want to move but it is not worth losing my daughter for 1/2 of the year! Plus I would fear for her b/c he is an unfit parent (smokes pot, drinks alot, leaves our 5 yr old outside to play with no adult supervision...only other kids. He owes me $1,700 in child support and is still only paying some of it when he wants to)...I have turned it over to child support enforcement but here it is almost 6 months later and they have yet to do anything about it, and they have all of his info, ss#, job info, address, ect. Plus in 2004 he commited an act of family violence and he was arrested and charged, is on probation and had to pay fines. Do I have anything to worry about? Oh and in our divorce agreement there is a vistation schedule for us to fall back upon just in case we cant agree. It rotates the holidays by even odd years and gives her dad every other weekend with her, if I move 5 hours away how will that work?
Thank you for any advice

you have to make arrangements to follow that visitation schedule. If it is in the court order 4 divorce there is a visiting schedule you can be held in contempt for not following that order. I belive by law you have to notify him of the move. Moving his child that far away will give him grounds to be given court ordered longer visits. I understand he is not a great guy. He is your child's father you need to think of the "children like my daughter" who's 8 her father left 3 years ago has never ask or tried to visit or send bday card or child support. 1,700 IS not a lot to be behind in payments. You need to call him about your move that is his child to he has a right to consent or disagree with the move.

Wow, well first off, if there are no restrictions then yes you can. How does your daughter feel about moving away from her dad ? It is wrong for anyone to use their child to get back at another parent. It only hurts the child. If you are worried about your daughters safety and really feel he is unfit you need to do something about it. Yes, sounds like you have plenty to worry about, he is violent towards his family? Are you nuts for even thinking of sending her there? If you move away he will still be entitled to what you have on the order. You will have to obey it or you could go to jail.
