If you are not on probation or some other type of restriction of your movements, there is no visitation law.\nYou simply pack your things and move to another state.  Once you start work in that state, register to vote and file taxes in that state you are usually considered a resident. Note: military service is an exception.

Read your divorce decree or custody documents.  There should be a clause in there that pertains to where the child is to reside.

If you know which states any of them are from you can write the VA in that state. Write a letter with all the info you know about the person. Write a letter to the person you want to locate unsealed and include the letter when you write the VA. IF the veteran is in the VA system the letter can be forwarded to the person by the VA. They will not tell you where the person lives but will leave it up to the veteran to decide to contact you. It has worked for me contacting old friends. Hope this helps...Liz

Very easily. Your moving his son out of state would interfere with the visitation rights granted to him by the court.\nThe only way you could move would be to take the matter back into court. He would have to give his consent, and the terms of his visitation would be changed.\nIf he's against the move, you're not likely to win this one.\nIf he was okay with it, what is likely to happen would be that the child would live with him in the summer months, and he would be able to come to where you live and visit on several major holidays. Taking the boy back to his motel, or whatever, for the days allowed.

State custody laws differ, but in most cases, no, you are not allowed to take the children out of state.  In order to do so, you must petition the court for a change, and you must give the non-custodial parent time to respond.\n\nYou will probably have a hard time proving that the move will be in the best interest of the children as it inteferes with their access to the other parent (and vice versa).  Most courts would say this would not be in their best interest.\n\nIt really depends on the other parent.  You might try mediation to revise your cutody agreement.  If the non-cust. parent agrees with you, then you can, but get it in writing first.

would your VA office not be able to assist you with this ????\n\nFailing that try contacting your local branch of the Legion and asking them for advice as they have departments that you can call / write to that will advocate on your behalf........of course you have to take out membership but that would be a LOT cheaper than an attorney prehaps.

Normally with the Family Law (or whatever it might be called where you are) court in the county you live in.  Chances are pretty good that going to the courthouse and asking any of the clerks where you file the paperwork for guardianship is going to get you pointed in the right direction, though.

I am not sure about Virginia law but you could always contact your state's Office of the Superintendant of Public Instruction or even a Virginia College that offers a teaching program and ask them. Some states have moral codes that teadhers have to swear by. The law in my state excludes violent and or sexual convicts and those who have commited any crime against children.

I don't know the specific laws in Illinois, you need to contact an attorney for that, but in most states both parents have to sign away their rights to the minor child.  You don't state whether your mother is living or not.  So we will assume she is not for the sake of the discussion.  You would need to go before a judge requesting to be made the guardian of the child.  The court will look at all the circumstances and determine if you are suitable to be the guardian.  If found to be acceptable you will be awarded custody and guardianship papers with all rights and responsibilities as if you were the natural parent.  Again I would advise you to contact an attorney regarding the specifics you would need to perform to obtain guardianship of your brother.

I have never heard of anything like this before.  You need a lawyer.  The best case scenario is that you'll bring an action for visitation against whomever happens to have custody of him.  Otherwise, you'll probably have to sue the state.\n\nIf you are a minor, there should be free legal services able to represent you.  In any case, find a lawyer in your area now.

I know someone already said it, but as the second person to respond:\n\nGet an attorney.  In fact, your present attorney in the visitation case might be able to provide advice about joint custody.  \n\nMeanwhile, cool off and don't write any nasty letters.  Use a favorable result for visitation to generate references with people who can testify in court that you are a good guy and that however nasty and hateful you may have been in 2004, you are perfectly amiable and cool-headed now.  And it isn't sufficient just to convince people the nastiness is gone.  You have to sincerely put the nastiness to rest and leave it there.\n\nAnd when you finally do receive visitation and joint custody, DO NOT try to use your time to turn your son against your Ex.  That isn't what visitation and custody are for.  Do not make your son a pawn in a game against your Ex.  That is cruel to the child, regardless of what satisfaction it may give you or your Ex.

It mostly depends on what the court said (or you set up) at the time of the divorce and the awarding of custody.  It is possible you have no rights at all, right now.  But you can always go to court to modify the existing arrangement, and you should do so to guarantee you have visitation rights if you have no formal, legal agreement.\n\nThe California Supreme Court issued a ruling just recently which made it easier for a court to allow a custoiial parent to move out of state with the child.
