Q: No custodial paperwork has been filed at this time. I am her sole provider, I receive no assistance/ help from her father. I am working with helping my child through developmental delays and really need the support of my family whom all is back in MO. I moved out to NY in 2011, 7months pregnant, thinking her father was sober, and hopes of building a family. Due to his alcoholism and his destructive behavior I left with my daughter almost 2 years ago, on my own. I am in the process of bankruptcy due the financial damages of living with an unstable addict. I am barely making it, however, I have a family that loves us &they want to help, but they are in MO. I have found a job out there and a place but am afraid to move because of I do not have the luxury of time or funds. What should I do?
A: David's Answer: You should definitely not move until you either have a court order giving you permission to move or a written, notarized agreement from the father agreeing to the move. You've set forth many facts which are in your favor in a custody/relocation case, though there are many more factors the Judge will consider. You're best advised to schedule a consult with an Orange/Westchester Family Law attorney. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
