My step son is 5 and we have had him every other weekend plus some since he was a year old. Now his mom is wanting to move to California, we live in Washington. We are not happy about this. Does anyone know if we can stop her from going. It just doesn't seem fair that we can pay child support and she can take him away so that we only see him a few timses a year.any help is appreciated. Gina

Hi Gina, I've only got a min cause I'm at work, but I wanted to let you know help is on the way. I'll be back later but for now, do you have a written custody order? Most of the time the terms are spelled out and can't be changed without going back to Court. I'll be back later to post more.

Yes, we have a parenting plan through the courts. I know she has to let us know she is going and my dh has to give permission but we don't know if we can really stop her. Will the courts let her go. Gina, thanks

I would get on the phone with an attorney right away. If you lived in California I could tell you that most likely the courts would not allow her to move without your H's ok.

we r going to see a lawyer, i hope your right that the courts wont let her move. i would really be hurt as would he if he was taken away. he knows he goes to daddys everyother bweekend, and i dont think he would understand if suddenly he couldnt see his daddy or his gina anymore.
i have gotten along well w ow im the one that deals with her not my h. this is going to get ugly if my h says no, but we cant just sit back and let her take him away.

Had oc this weekend he already knew he was moving to califonia. I told him that meant he wouldn't see daddy or Gina very much. He said he would tell mommy they would have to postpone going to California. Well when his mom picked him up that's the first thing he said to her. I thought uhoh I'm in trouble. She didn't say anything , however I'm thinking I maybe shouldn't have said anything. But he has the right to know . I probably should have waited.
