Please help! I am a divorced lady with two children ages 5 and 8. I live in Missouri. My new husband and I would like to move to Az. We had a revised parenting plan made saying that we would be able to move to Az. if we cut our child support in half. Well my ex-husband agreed to this by signing the papers and having them notarized. The next week we received a receipt in the mail stating that the courts have received the papers, (we sent these papers to the court). We waited over a month, then called the circut court to find out what was going on, they said that the judge decided not to do anything, that it did not go on the docket. My question is; Does this mean that we can still move, to Az., does this mean that the exhusband still has to pay full child support, but we can still move? How binding are those notarized documents anyways in reguards to relocation with children after a divorce? Does it have to go before judge? How long does the father have to change his mind? -Concerned

This man does not want anything to do with the children, if he did I would love to stay here. He has never even asked where they go to shcool, I have begged him to please be apart of thier lives, but it is no use. There are much better schools for the children there, and this decistion was prayed about for 3 years, all 3 years I have tried to get the ex-husband to be apart of their lives.

D-
I haven't been able to reach you by phone, so maybe you will read this. I agree with everyone else. This definately needs to be 100% court approved. Don't have any question in your mind before going. Or H will have something over you. One person brought up a good point about each state being different. You might find what is legal in this state and AZ. Get a GOOD lawyer this time and DON'T fire him/her :) Hang in there, there is an answer around the corner. Catchya later, K
PS. The more I think about it, I bet H was dishonest when he told you about getting out of the military because of the money thing.

Hmm...it is puzzling. Not sure why it would have to be docketed if it was already signed off on by both parties. Usually a joint decision agreed to by both parties does not have to be signed off on by a judge. However, in your state it might be different. Sounds like you have some type of mistake at the courthouse. It would be worth the money to hire a family law attorney just to make a few phone calls and get the whole mess straightened out. If your ex is a jerk - and you relocate before all the things are finalized - it can create unnecessary problems for you.
BTW - you could probably have gotten permission from the court to move and NOT given up any of the child support!
Good luck.

You need to talk to a family law attorney. Find one that gives a free initial consultation. Don't take advise from people in other states either because the family code for each state is different.

I am sure that this is not what you want to hear but unless he is abusive, I dont think that you should move. It is not right to take these kids away from their father just because you and your new man want to move away. This is still their father and they deserve to have a relationship with him. If I were him I would fight you to the end to keep them in the same state as me.

Parental rights should not be mixed with child support. You are denying your children's right to see their father and vice versa just because you want a better life. That means the children should be within reasonable distance.

If she has filed relocation papers in the direction of the courtroom, then she won't be able to legally flow till the choose delivers her with the the superb option. make certain you have a lawyer once you bypass to courtroom, and be arranged as to why it relatively is not in the superb interest of the toddlers for her to bypass.

i have heard that you cannot relocate until courts say that you can. you should call the circuit courts again and ask them these questions. if anyone can answer these questions it is them. you could call up you ex husband and ask him if he knows anything. that is if you believe anything that your ex husband says to you. i do not believe anything that my ex husband says to me. i have 3 kids with him and we have been divorced for seven years. i know most things about the court systems.

Get an attorney now and start looking... Do not give up until you find them. Talk to your lawyer and see what your options are here and what is legal to do!

your best bet is to call a local lawyer and have a consultation so he can review the paperwork......

my guess is move,but don't expect him to have to pay full support,if you already signed it too.
