You guys need to file something "YESTERDAY" if that is the case.

Does it say in your court papers about a 30 or 60, 90 days notice when moving etc.

She is in contempt if you have this write up in your papers and she did not give the notice required. You need to file something now before it is to late.

The best thing to do in this case if you are really wanting to bring that up... would be to hire a P.I. and have them get the information..

If you do it on your own, it may be a bit difficult for you to prove otherwise.

And even then, it could be just a slap on the wrist to your ex and the judge telling her to just have the man out of the house by such and such day or immediately.

There are a hundred different ways in which this could go..It's why it's always better to have a P.I. do this for you.

What does it say in your papers about the Custodial moving?

9 times out of ten, it will show giving notice to the Non-Custodial about your move.

If you two can work things out without court then that's great..However they courts will review your case and the expression of, "Best interest of the child" will be brought up.

1. Will the child still be able to keep a loving, open, and caring relationship with the Non-Custodial if the move takes place.

2. Will it effect the child in any negative way with this move?

3. Will you as a custodial be able to maintain all the above etc. etc. etc.

There are a hundred reasons why moves are denied when a Non-Custodial parent is involved.

Have you talked with the Non-Custodial about this move, and what have they said?

Superdad... Sadly enough I am in the same situation.. It's been 1 year and 9 months and nothing has been done as of yet....

Right now, it did not help matters that the District judge vote came up to play and of course my judge was voted out and a new one will be residing over our case.. (So skies the limit)..

I will (as always) keep everyone updated at any progress or decline I may have over the next few months.. Because I honestly do not see us going back to court until the beginning of next year... (Which will make it that 2 year mark.. So sad)...

Honestly Kurt... refer back to what LADADS said on your other post.

Trust me on this and know now... NOTHING is fair when it comes to Child Support and Custody battles. And with the system already weighing heavily "Against" Fathers, then good luck in all the above and then some.

The only thing we can do is fight our system to change the unfair, unconstitutional, and discriminatory laws that are set in place against fathers.

RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH.... In other words, educate yourself as much as possible, and get involved....

I know that a lawyer is and can be expensive, but it's your best option as of right now. (Or for that matter 85% of the time).

For starters... Your not a "Turd"...lololol... However I will point a few things out and I hope this will at least make you 2nd guess a few things...

This is beyond wonderful that "YOU" are there for the children, but keep in mind that regardless of how the bio-dad is being, "HE" in the eyes of the children are still "Their" bio-dad and no matter what you do this will not change until "THEY" decide other wise.......In other words, don't make that choice for them....

It's bad enough from the choice the bio-dad has already made...You can only make it worse if you are not careful..

They will figure it out on their own....If your wife could have changed him in the past, then there is a good chance that they would probably still be married today....

Quote:

No SIR'.....THEY both chose to have kids...


Quote:

His loss,.....not yours or your wife...Keep in mind on the wonderful things he will miss because of his choice.......

I'm not saying it's going to be easy on the children or the new situation ...But you and your wife have the most important thing in the end.... (The Children).....And the children still have a family and home..


Quote:

Trust me on this one.... (I've seen it too many times)... The responsibility that he has chosen will be 10 fold more in the end when the children grow up and realize who was there for them, and who was not....



You stated earlier in your message this....

Quote:

Not only do I commend you on this, but your new family will as well.....

I'm actually in the same boat as you....I have 2 daughters that are biologically mine, but my current wife has an ex husband in which they had "1" daughter together....

I have raised her since she was 2 years old... She is now 13 going on 14.....

Her bio-dad has not seen her or been part of her life in any shape form or fashion since she was 2 years old.....Along with, has not paid a single dime in Support since their divorce so many years ago....

I wouldn't change it for the world.....

His loss, his stupidity, MY GAIN....

I gained another daughter from his mistakes that he will have to live with for the rest of his life....

And trust me he will.....

Going after the bio-dad for child support because "YOU and his EX" feels it's the right thing to do is not the answer.......

It will only make things more difficult for the you guys, and most importantly, the children....

One thing to recognize is that you have a "4" year old. The mother (your ex) does not have to work until the child turns "5".

As far as daycare, medical, etc....This, by law, is part of your obligations. However, when the youngest child turns 5, and your ex starts working, you both will be responsible for the daycare...(if you refile)....
And depending on how good your attorney is, can negotiate the percentage of responsibility in Medical....

One thing to actually be happy about is that you guys are working from Worksheet "B"..... It could be worse..... you could be going by Worksheet "A".

Hang in there and do what you can until your youngest turns "5"... When this happens, you need to find a good attorney and speak with them about your rights as the Non-Custodial parent.

In the mean time, educate yourself on family law for Louisiana, and get yourself involved...

Our site has many informational tools that will help you along the way in knowing your rights...

Good luck and be determined....

Eric, sadly enough, there are many that are not only have a 8-10,000 retaining fee, but will cost you the same per house (200.00 - 250.00)

Pretty much, yes, that is the norm.... (Sadly)

Of course you can keep searching, but keep in mind... you pay for what you get... Do research in EVERY one of them... along with the judge's in your district.....

Every Fathers right group in the U.K. needs to be outside of that judge's court house protesting the crap out of him.

He should be barred from his duties as a judge and cleaning the toilets at the local pub.

Un-freak'n-believable..

Can anyone say "Abuse of Power".....!!!

Your lawyers should have had this in place already.. Especially with 50/50..

Yes, you need to go in-front of a judge and let them know that the idiot officer used Worksheet "A" sole custody calculator, instead of the B that should have been used....
