Courts retain jurisdiction until they say otherwise, regardless what parents want or do.

unfortunately, even if you had sole custody of your daughter, you may not be able to leave the state without a court order specifically stating that you have permission to do so...\n\nsad but true

change of location.  For instance, the defendants in the Enron trial want a change of venue because they believe they will not get a fair trial in Houston, Tx, since that is where Enron was located.

Yes you can.\n\nThe prosecutor can take the case to the grand jury over and over again, then use a preliminary hearing the the grand jury votes no true bill. Your lawyer can tell the judge at your arraignment hearing the case has been dismissed before and that will go a long way toward rolling it again. Good luck.

It, of course, depends on your state's caselaw on the subject.  But, yes, it is possible... again depending on your state.  It won't be done unless there is "extraordinary circumstances".  That being said, if it is done, there is one hell of a good chance that, if convicted, the defendant will have a great appeal.  The prosecutor is a VERY interested party. He or she has a stake in the outcome of the case, and may not be that believable.\n\n-ask the bar association in your state-do not take anything said online as legal advice-

If the trial is over, he should not be able to re-open for questions not brought forward during the trial. He may or may not have the right to an appeal after the judge's decision. If both sides have rested their case, then only the judge may ask questions after the fact. As far as the letter is concerned, you may not be allowed to have legal representation, but that does not mean that you cannot receive legal advice. Plus, it may be a stretch to prove that an atorney wrote the letter. Do not quote any of this in court, as I am no lawyer. I've just had the opportunity to watch several civil cases in my line of work.

You do need to contact a lawyer immediately. They should request to appear before the judge in motions court.  I don't think that a name change can happen without your consent.  I live in PA, if a parent tries to move a child out of state, they forfeit their custody rights. I don't think it will happen, but you need to be proactive. Once it is done, it may be hard to reverse it.

Since he knew about it, did not petition the court at that time,  let alot of time go past, the court will view this most likely as allowing it.\n\nBut he will have to petition the court to find her in contempt, and order her to return to the state.\n\nalot better chance had it done it prior to her moving, or as soon as she moved.

Not without knowing what state you're talking about.\n\nIn general, if both parents have legal custody, both have to agree or go to court or arbitration. Otherwise, the parent with legal custody determines it.

The laws vary from state-to-state.  As a general rule, any offender may waive extradition and be taken out of the jurisdiction he/she is being detained in and travel (in custody) to the jurisdiction what holds a valid arrest warrant.  However, some state may require that an "extradition hearing" take place in front of a judge prior to releasing the offender into anyone from any other state's jurisdiction.\n\nFor the most part, removing and offender from one jurisdiction to another is not that hard or complicated.  One must (in many cases) "jump through so legal hoops" to ensure that the offender that is charged with a particular crime, is not having his/her civil right violated and they are not being unduly punished.  For example: a person who is charged with a low level misdemeanor in one state may not be allowed by their current "home state", to transport someone from another state due to the fact that by the time the decision to release them from the custody to the receiving state, the time of incarceration for the crime that they are charged with may be exceeded.\n\nThis may sound very complex and confusing but the system is set up in Oder that a suspect is not held for months or even years for a  crime that the maximum punishment may by less than one year.

In summary, there are 2 instances when it can be done.\n\n1. Injunction (pre trial) - the Plaintiff may apply to freeze your assets if there is a real possibility of your running away after the trial. \n\n2. After the court judgment, the plaintiff may apply to freeze your assets for enforcement. \n\nAlthough the law differs in different countries, the 2 rules above apply to 90% of countries.

I don't know of any time limit to motion for custody modification, but if he doesn't have any money for a lawyer and the man your former daughter-in-law does he is not likely to prevail in his request unless there is an issue of abuse or neglect.

As a rule, you have to raise every issue you have in a case, whether it is a state or federal court. You can't wait to see if you lose in state court on state issues and then go to federal court to try again. The court has "pendent jurisdiction" over the other court's issues. It can make a difference what the issue is, though, since state courts may not have the jurisdiction needed, for bankruptcy, for example.

In America if non custodial parent moved over 50 miles from original location of divorce, they have the financial burden if the expense to see the kids. The custodial parent CAN NOT move out of the country unless it is with a SPOUSE, and even then, usually the new decree will state that the custodial parent will pay all expenses and costs incurred for transportation of minor child for legal visitation to non custodial parent. You may also try to gain custody of your children as a your ex may be a flight risk. You can charge her with child abuse, and being an unfit mother on grounds that she is exposing your children to different men and lifestyles that may cause harm to your children. Good luck and act fast, or you may loose any chance at raising your kids. But know this, children grow into adults, and they remember the love their daddy gave them while he could.

Its possible, but is extremely unlikely. There would have to be extenuating circumstances, and most judges would be unwilling to budge.

The answer is really simple. I myself has just gone thru this. You Must submit to him in writing that you are moving to another state(if it's over 100 miles) and is taking the child with you. he has 30 days to respond by taking you to  court. if he does take you to court, be prepard to give concessions such as you will drive your son for visits with his dad, etc. another concession to give him equal custody (joint) as he would have a more say so in how the child is raised. this case law is from louisiana so the law differs from state to state as far as moving out of state. best to research the subject by going to your local library where they have law books and should help you to know exactly where you stand. Hope this helps
