Do you think that moving out of state with a child w/out consentment of the court should be illegal?

No, and I think the current corrupt court system should be illegal.

As long as she (the daughter) doesn't have residency established at that house then she has no right to be there. If the mother did tell the police that she was not allowed there then she needs to call them and let them know that she threatened to come over. She would then be considered trespassing. If she takes anything from the house it would be burglary. Even if the items belong to the daughter the mother doesn't have to give the items to her. There are so many things the daughter can get in trouble for legally if she steps even one foot on that property. The best thing to do would have the mother talk with the police again and explain that the situation is getting worse. There are always options and the local police can explain in better detail.

Sounds like a confusing situation you are in.  As for him, unless the court says you cannot be around during his visits she and he cant do anything, his visitation time is just that, his.  As long as he is around and wants you to be a part of his child's life and no Court has denied you being there, you can.  \n\nA court can deny you being there if you've got a bad record and she requests it directly though.... and the child doesnt stay overnight in your home, especially if you are trully married.  But honestly it doesnt happen that much.

Not if it's the law.\nQuit trying to come up with a way for the non-custodial parent to be irresponsible.

Move to Australia... the best interests of the child are paramount... children have rights not parents.. they only have responsibilities.. there is no such thing as "custody" as it denotes ownership and children are not possessions.. there is only a resident parent and a contact parent and new legislation July 2006 will mean that there is a presumption of shared parenting on an equal basis....

Well, have the police pick her up, your ex should have just driven her home.That is in volation of custody/visitaion.It is like kidnapping \n\nDispite the choice of where she wants to live it is still up to court and what is in the best interest of the child. So really it is never her choice,even as a teen.A parent object, a judge listens and custody is deemed to be given to the approiate parent

I'm sorry to say that your post is a little difficult to read and understand your question.  I suspect though, that it was a little more of soapboxing than a question.\n\nDCFS/CPS cannot just come into your home and remove your children for 'no reason.'  They have to have valid and documentable evidence that your child is in a dangerous situation.  They are not the only ones who get a say in making this decision either.  The evidence and defense must be presented to a judge who decides whether the child is remanded to the custody of the state or returned to its natural parents.\n\nThis doesn't mean it's a perfect system.  In my years in social service I saw many children returned to parents only to be abused again and again and worse each time.  I even had the sad experience of seeing one die of abuse.  So if mistakes are made on that side, it's not inconceivable to believe that mistakes can be made on the other side as well, and a have a child removed when it's not warranted.  I'll be honest, I've thought about myself in a parent's shoes and I would be angry, scared, etc.\n\nThe best thing you can do for your family and that child is to hold it together.  Get an attorney (if you can't afford one, the court must provide you one) and follow his/her advice to the letter.  Concentrate on getting your child back and not on your anger at the system.

That's a hard one!  I don't think either that they should go back either.  Children need a stable environment.  It's not good on them to be transfered around.  Even back to parents that don't care about them anyways.  Im so sorry that you have to go through this.  If I were you,  I would fight this as hard as you can.  Good Luck!

Need to give more info on the question.  I will try to answer, if she is moving with children, I don't believe that she will have to get another court order, I think the present court order will stand up in that state.  To be for sure, you will have to seek legal counsel.

Ok, I can't find a law stating that.  My inclination is that whoever told you that is wrong.  If your son is moving and wants to stay and everyone agrees, you should be able to go to court to modify whenever you want to, no waiting period.  That doesn't make any sense.\n\nGood luck.

Sounds to me like this is a case of divorced parents? Assuming it is and the mother has legal custody and depending of course on what state they live in, its unlikely the father could interfere with the legal process. Personally, I would not get involved in family matters where custody would be a factor. As for the rent, if the boy is requesting emancipation then he's asking the courts to recognize him as an adult and empower him with legal custody of himself. If he wants to be an adult then he needs to have adult obligations so I say the rent is fair.

I think if he has been ordered to pay child support some type of parternity must have been established.  He can go to court and stop you from moving out of state.  I would contact an attorney and talk them about this.  Good luck!

No since you are married, you have suitable care for your son while youre away. If questions come up tell the court its only temporary til you find another job. Not alie as no job is permanent. But I see no problem here.

I think you are stuck.  Your rights as a mother are no stronger than his rights as a father.  You both have rights as parents, and that means that neither of you can pick up the child and move out of state without the permission of the other.  Would you like it if he decided to move to California with your son but not you?

NO!  You cant move but you can visit - you still have to get approval from the social services though to be able to go anywhere out of the state that they are foster children in!

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.

leaving to a friends house is not kidnapping. and call his bluff, if you take care of them just as well if not better, they wont just give full custody to someone. most states are joint physical custody anyway...good luck...
