Beginning July 1, divorced parents who have custody of their children won't be able to pull up stakes and leave town legally, without notifying their ex-spouses first.
A new state law that takes effect that day requires custodial or noncustodial parents who relocate to first give 90 days notice to the other parent and to the court. If they don't, then the judge could change custody arrangements.
The new law is described as an attempt to make Indiana's system more fair to noncustodial and custodial parents alike.

well seems your in abit of a tif....lets see if we cant assist you in getting out , First off......the frist and most important consideration is and always should be the BEST interest of the child, second parents rights should always be held second to the child, now with that being said, lets look at the facts you shared.......fact one.....CONVICTED sex offender, now what was the nature of the conviction ? A.) did he physically rape B) did he have sex with a minor ? C) other, well if answer b and c are selected and he has atoned to his crime , and sought the help he needed, and has over come that issue, then let it rest in the past were it was commited, point two, lets look at the child, does the child ( NOT KNOWING AGE of CHILD) want contact with his father ?? if so........then as parents we have a responsibity to assure that happens as LONG as it dont put the child at risk or in danger ........so to put it in a nut shell ...forget the law.......and take it up within yourself and your MORAL values as well as the father of the childs.this of course would be known as RESPONIABLE PARENTING, and once you have followed up with that and no solution has been found........than and ONLY then seek legal action. for FAITH can go along ways when you put it into action

I dont really understand but if your trying to gain or keep the custody of a child against his/her father it isn't going to work because my mother tried. But you might win because he was a sex offender. Good luck and i'm sorry i couldn't give you information about the law their...good luck!!! : )

You'll need a lawyer too who can help the judge realize that since he's in prison that should affect his parental rights. He should have considered his parental rights before he committed his crime and got locked up. -Too late to want to excercise those rights now.
Forget what the court says. Get a good lawyer

Move your kids to California. I don't know about anywhere else, but Cali has a reputation for being very protective of those seeking refuge inside their state lines, especially when it comes to a case like yours.
