  • Moving out of Province.

    I have been divorced for 8 years and remarried for 5 yrs, in my previous marriage I had 2 daughters, they are now ages, 12 and 15 yrs.....my current husband has been laid off due to factory closures all over our city, we have an opportunity to move out west to start a new career and to ensure financial stability to our home. The two daughters that I have with my ex-husband have some access, although they are adament that they wish to stay with me and move to a new province as the realtionship with their father has always been strained due to relationship issues. I would love to be upfront with my ex and sit down and talk about the girls travelling arrangements for visitation and just be upfront with him about all of it but unfortunately, the problems he will cause would be tremendous, what can I do considering the girls ages and desire to move with us??
    Much Thanks,
    Lisa E.

    hmmm ... tough one

    If you do not have sole custody, you don't really have much choice as far as speaking to your ex about it. I am not sure if there are any legal pathways for you to take in this case - a lot depends on your situation/relationship with you ex.

    If you have sole custody, I believe you are pretty much free to move. If you are feeling amicable then you can tell him your plans.

    Sorry, but that is the only advice I have, there must be other on here with more details at their fingertips.

    Good luck

      You are not free to move even with sole custody. Although the custodial parent's desires are given much deference, the onus is still on that parent to establish that such a move is in the best interests of the children. Do a search on mobility cases in this forum.
