I've been going through various child custody and visitation cases over the last several years. My ex stopped paying for our child's daycare he enrolled him in and then broke into my house as retaliation for leaving him. But every since I brought him to court (checks now garnished) I've been in constant conflict with him. During the course of these years I've completed my Bachelors and Masters Degrees. I've since been offered a lucrative job in a state 7 hours away. I have full physical custody but we have joint custody as well. I know when I bring him to court he is going to fight me.
The current support isnt enough and the move will allow a greater level of stabilitly, security and allow me to purchase more home than I can currently afford in my current state.
My ex has been threatening to sue for full custody...I am more than a fit parent I purchased a home at 23 now 30, I am in the PTO and church activities, I love my son. Does he really have a chance in taking my son from me?

As I understand it. If the other parent fights it. Usual they courts will not allow a move that would cause a bigger seperation from the kids to the parent. Unless you can get full custody. U need to fight for that first before you try to move because he can stop u.
GOOD LUCK

There is always a chance that he could get custody, but the chance would be very slim that a judge would change the child primary caregiver after such a long time without his being able to prove you unfit. Moving a child out of state is allowed, the judge would want to modify the visitation from the standard every other weekend to something like xmas vacation, month in summer, spring break etc.

In my opinion, I always believed that the only way the father would get full custody would be if the mother was unfit, unale to provide a good home, etc. It sounds like you really have it all together. Not knowing what the ex has up his sleeve, it's hard to give you a pin point answer. But it sounds like you do't have anything to worry about. His behavior in the past will not help him, and you will have to make sure the judge knows how he has threatened you in the past. The move will be a good thing, don't worry about it, I think you will be fine.

You sound like the better parent. So I would say he does not have a chance. If he has broke into your house and fought everything he sounds like he doesn't want his son (NOT THAT HE DOESN'T LOVE HIM) It sound like he wants to get back at you and make you as unhappy as possible. I would say document everything that happens. Visitation what he does or doesn't do and if the situation comes up you can address it with proof of what kind of parent he has been and that you have been better.

No way,you will be a more stable factor in your sons life:go to court he will loose because of his prior actions.And you have shown that you are a responsible parent.
