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

I dont understand why nothing has happened with your child support, but this may work in your favor. Most divorce decrees require the custodial parent get permission from non resident parent before moving but since he is behind in child support he has worse problems than worrying about you moving. I would still check with your divorce atty or state legal aid asoc. for sure. The problem if all goes well with being 5 hrs away may be alternative pick ups, like he comes to you to pick up the kids and you may have to go get from him. You can probably work out something more agreeable between you two concerning visitations since its no longer just around the corner, and if you do file it with the court so there wont be any future problems. Like I said before he may have more problems with child support that may cost him some rights. Good luck

Girl, I would leave and let it be known that you are leaving, it sounds like hes not a very good guy, I bet you will not hear from him
