HELP...BM moving soon!!

[Kami]

Hi all,

I have a legal question.  I live in State "A", and BM and kids live in State"B".  Our court ordered stipulation ("parenting plan") is from the courts in State "B".  BM and kids are moving to State"C" in a few weeks.  So which state will then have legal jurisdiction??

Thanks for any help...this situation coul get sticky really quickly!!

State  "B" would continue to have jurisdicaiton. This can change to "C" once your ex and kids are established there. I believe it can be changed after they are there 6 months.

Until the court is asked to change jurisdiction, you will still need to deal with state 'B". It will never be state "A"

Best Luck

You said:

Can I request a change of jurisdiction, or does BM have to do that?

Good question. I think either of you can ask for the change, but she and the kids will have to establish residency.

Just curious, why are you anxious to change?

Thanks for your reply.

I'm interested in a change because State "C" may be more father friendly.  I'm in the process of researching that.

either parent can file to move jurisdiction.

After 6 months, might as well register it if she stays there.
