My ex girlfriend wants to move to San Diego and take our kid with her. Will the judge allow that even if I want 50 percent custody of the child and technically speaking I can provide more for the child anyways. The mom just wants to move there so she can increase child support by taking the kid away. What can I do?

There is really nothing you can do, unless you allready have 50% custody. Women think they can do whatever they want with thier kids and the dad cant do anything about, and the court usually backs them up. It makes me sick. My husband makes A LOT more money than his ex, and she spent time in the nut house. He took her through marriage counseling and everything, but none of that mattered the judge still let her move in with my husbands ex boss, the one she was cheating on him with, 5 hrs. away, gave her full custody, ordered my husband to give her thousands of dollars, and pay $90 a week in child support. He only sees his kid once a month if he is lucky. I would never do that to my ex, even though he is a looser, as long as my son likes seeing him, I will not come between them. Kids need thier dad just as much as they need thier moms.

You can ask that she not be allowed to leave the state with your child without good reason that would benefit your child. Sounds to me like if she thinks she can get more money from you by taking your child away from you and running off with him,the judge should see right through her. MAKE SURE you have an attorney with you to get what you want. You have the right the be a "Hands On Dad" and I believe the judge will see that is what you are trying to do. SHe's thinking money,you're thinking about your kid. That should be an easy one...but we all know the system sometimes screws us over. Best of luck to you,I hope you get full custody,sounds like you deserve it. Hats off to you for being a "Good Dad"!!!

Your baby-mama will have to show a legitimate reason for moving...usually a better job or more family support. If she can't and you contest it, then I don't think he/she will allow a move.
If you REALLY want 50% custody, you had better be sure what that entails. It's NOT cheaper, if that is your issue. It's also not more convenient. If you really just want to have your child more, that is commendable, but be aware that it's a lot of work, inconvenience, money and time.

from what i know and have seen the morther can do whatever she wants.a judge looks at the fact that child needs its morther.i'm one of those women who feel that they are to hard on men when it comes to there kids.a mom can live by the river but if you go and try to get custody of the child they still find ways to find men un-fit.its best that you get a lawyer quick talk to him but even having joint custody of the kid she can still move.had a friend her ex had the kids and moved out of state,there was nothing she could do.

well different states have different rules. here in Illinois ether parent regardless of custody has to get a court order to move more then 150 miles from where you were living together. but if she is planing on moving a good distance away the judge will not split the custody 50/50. your best bet is to go for full custody from the start, trying to get it changed later much harder as you prity much have to prove that she is an unfit parent.

Sorry might not be much.
I am not sure but if its for a job or something like that I think she can. You may have yo split the years or do one year off one year you have him.
Sound terrible hope your son gets put first
