Adoption/ Visitation/ Moving out of the State. Please Help!?
Ok my ex has had nothing to do with our childern in almost two years. My now Fiancee want's to adopt my boys. My ex some ho wfound out about this and is now taking me to court for visitaion. My fiancee and I planed on getting married in November then moving to North Carolina where He'll be stationed. My ex is bipolar and abusive. I need advice. I still want my fiancee to adopt my boys but i know my ex wouldn't sign off on it. Is there any way around this? And if he does get visitation, is there any way I can still move out of this state? And can the courts really make me let my ex have my childern on thier birthday's, cause thats what he's asking for? He wasn't there for their first birthday and I don't think it would be fair that I would have to miss their birthdays because of him.
Answers:
You will need to talk with your attorney as family law in any state is the most complicated when children are concern. The main question that the courts will answer (or try), "What is in the best interest for the children?"
Questions to ask your attorney:
1. Child support? Does your ex pay? Is you ex in arrears?
2. Documented proof of violence? (OOP, TRO, etc)
3. Your current custody & visitation order?
4. Judgment of divorce and the stipulation?
5. The law guardian position on visitation, the judge will give the LG more weight?
6. Your ex's compliance with treatment for bipolar?
7. The state that retains jurisdiction?
8. Your ex's involvement in the children no matter how small? reasons for lack of involvement?
