Just an update and looking for some experienced opinions on our situation. My husband has a mediation meeting for today, to modify the current custody order which is 50/50. We currently reside in PA and we are moving to FL due to a change in my job as well as more job opportunities there for my husband. He has 3 children ages 15, 12 and 10. We informed BM we are moving at the end of August 2011 and asked her if she would discuss options to modifying the custody order. Currently they are able to communicate (for the most part) with each other regarding their children. After informing her of the move and asking if she would be willing to modify the custody order- she proceeded to inform his brother and sister in law of our pending move. They are listed as intervenors on their current custody order (long story). They, in turn, file for a modification to the current order stating if father moves abruptly to FL, full custody should go to BM. Now mind you, my husband has also filed for a modification requesting for the change to take place in 2012. He is asking for the children to reside with us during the school year and with BM on holidays and summer vacation. The request for change is due to the fact she still is residing with her BF whom we have a PFA against because he hit his youngest child on the back of the head, and he was touching the other two children (both girls) inappropriately. He is not allowed to touch them at all nor to use foul language in front of them, but for some strange reason, the judge is allowing him to still LIVE with them!!!! BM stated after she moved to her current apartment, BF would be moving out. This was almost 2 years ago- BF/abuser (in my eyes anyway) still resides there.
Has anyone been involved in a shared custody arrangement across states? Is it possible for BM to block my husband from moving to FL? At this time, we are not looking to move the children with us right away. School has already started and we still need to locate a permanent residence in FL. We are staying with family until we locate a place of our own.
