I have primary custody of my 2 teen sons.I live in GA. My ex is supposed to see them once a week for 3 hours (which she rarely abides by) and once a month for an overnight (again, she has only used this once). I have a job oportunity in Vancouver, which I would like to take advantage of to better provide for my kids. She would still get a once a month over night because I work for a major airline. Me and my kids can fly as often as we like free, but obviously I cannot fly them down once a week. (she would only miss seeing them for 30 min) There is nothing in our custody arrangement that says a party cannot move. She rarely even uses all her of visitation rights now. She does not call, and does not even use all of the time that is allotted for visits.
I cannot contact her by phone to discuss this. What should I do? Should I still go?

It really depends on what the child custody agreement says. If there is a mileage limit, there could be some trouble especially if you have to either go to court or get her permission to do so. Also, have you documented about her missed parenting time with your sons? How do your sons feel about the move? If you go to court, can you prove the move would be of financial benefit to the boys? These questions need to be asked and examined before you move.

yes go if this is the best move for you and your kids then do it.
your ex may decide to kick up a fuss but dont worry about it the is nothing she can do i no this for a fact because i had the same situation a year ago.
my husband was offered a job in spain although we have custody of my 2 elder kids their father still had visitation so i went to see my lawyer for advise.
she told me as long as my husband had employment in spain and we had some where to live and the kids would be in school here there was absolutely nothing my ex could do about it.
she advised me to write a contract stating that i was taking the children to live in spain and that their father would still have contact with the kids via telephone and internet whenever he wanted and that the children would go back to the uk to visit him at a time that ws mutually agreed by both parties and have him sign it and some one else sign as a witness. so that if he ever decided to go to court and be a clever *** and say id run off with kids without his consent id have this letter to prove it.
i have a copy of this letter as does my lawyer and my parents and my husbands parets also have a copy as well.
you could do this too.
if your ex refuses to sign or you know that she will object thenyou can have your lawyer do it for you and send her a legal contract she will have no choice in the matter.
hope this helps good luck to you and your boys.

the significant venture is to get criminal custody of them so which you additionally could make judgements related to college or docs on your individual. you do not desire to proportion them with somebody a state away. The courts will pick if he desires supervised custody (if he has a checklist of ingesting) and that they gained't make him take a attempt, yet will supervise him. undergo in techniques you do have the alternative of negotiating with him and you do not might desire to stay with what the courts say for something of your lifes. case in point my son had many problems while he replace into born, so the choose gave his father sundays and tuesdays each and every week. while my son replace into older we did the person venture and labored it out at the same time so now I supply i supply being the opperative words, I supply him the different weekend so as that my son can spend time along with his father. enable the courts negotiate the cases for you. in case you experience that's only too a lot then you definately grants him greater if he's waiting for it. solid success hun

my husband and i had the same problem with his ex girlfriend she move and now we have custody of his daughter first thing you have to do is get a modification of visitation and only through a judges agreement can you move with your kids even if your ex doesn't care if she sees the kids or not my step daughters mom doesn't care about seeing her either but if you move without getting the modification she can ask for make up time with the kids an you probably don't want that to happen

you might want to talk to a lawyer just to make sure but i don't see why you couldn't move, people move all the time they just have to rethink their visitation plan.
