Dear Socrateaser / CP wants to move daughters out of state
Jun 06, 2006, 01:11:08 PM
Socrateaser,
I've been divorced from my ex for 5 years. We share joint legal custody of our daughters, with her as the CP. The CP, myself and our daughters have all reside in Alabama. She has remarried, as have I. Her husband is originally from Georgia. His family still resides there.
I have been aware of potential plans for the CP and her husband to move to Georgia with our daughters. I know this because of things that our daughters have said to me periodically over the past 4 years. This was one of many factors that lead to my taking her to court 3 years ago. After court-ordered family counceling, where she denied any intention of moving to Georgia, the case was settled out of court.
Over the course of the past 8 months, the issue has risen again. Not only from things my daughters have said, but the CP and our daughters spent Spring break in Georgia looking at houses. I have a recorded conversation between our daughters and myself, while they were still in Georgia, telling me that they were looking at houses for them to move into. The entire idea has been pitched to our daughters with the promise of frequent beach vacations, trips to Disney World, and a swimming pool in the back yard.
A couple of weeks after their return home, our daughters changed their story and stated that they were looking for houses for their Grandma (the CP's mother.) I have recently discovered that their Grandma is scheduled to move to Georgia on the 12th of this month to the exact same town the CP's husband is from. The CP has said nothing to me concerning plans to move, nor have I approached the subject with her, though she has recently become VERY personable and kind by offering to pay for things that she never would before and offering me additional days with our daughters. This is exactly the opposite of what I am used to dealing with. I don't mean to sound paranoid or suspicious, but experience has taught me that when she acts this way, something bad is about to happen.
My questions are:
1. When and if this goes to court, if I can prove that the intent to move our daughters out of state has been in the works for years, does that increase my chances of stopping the move or gaining custody?
2. I know that Alabama is a One-Party state, can I record my daughters' conversations with their mother (giving my legal consent) and use any information gained from those conversations in court?
3. I am 95% positive that the Grandmother is moving to establish a blood-relative base in Georgia. Is that enough with my daughters still having 90% of their close blood relatives still residing here in Alabama?
