Hello, first I am from Wisconsin. My daughter's mother is planning on moving to Florida. My daughter is 7 and my ex has had placement since she was born and I've had every other weekend and holidays. Before she was in school I had her more often and have always been willing and offered to take my daughter whenever possible.
A few months ago my daughter's mother requested to move to Florida with her, her boyfriend of 7 years and her other 2 children. I agreed with all summer and holiday break visition, thinking it would be best for my daughter to be with her half brother and sister. About 3 months later my ex moved back from Florida, leaving one of her children with the father because they had broken up.
She then took the other child (both my daughter's half siblings) to Florida leaving my daughter and mother here in Wisconsin.... She has now "reconsiled" with the boyfriend and wants to move back down there with my daughter. She has agreed to go to couseling. I can not agree to her moving this time. When the two were split the boyfriend emailed me information on my ex about her being a sociopath, teaching the children to lie and having them lie for her ( I sadly see in my daughter and try to correct her behavior when I catch her lying).
Also that while she was back here in WI she was taking my daughter on overnight visits to her new boyfriend(s) houses and not to mention that she has moved 13 times in 5 years. This will have to go court, because we cannot agree. What do you think my chances are? I also need to write a letter to her and the courts stating that I do not agree... any suggestions on wording that letter besides "You do not have my permission to take (my daughter) out of state."
I am thinking and believe I will be getting a lawyer. The more I read however on custodial parents moving out of state the more I get discouraged. My goal would be placement of my daughter, but this is my first issue.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
