How can I get approved by the judge to move with my son from NY to PA, while still trying to get sole custody?

Q:  I am about to be evicted so I have to move immediately and was planning to in August anyway. I already put in a petition for the move but he refused the papers when served.

Additional information

 

My son has also lived with me since birth. His father has no job, pays no child support even though there is an order for only $50 a month, and has no stable place where he lives.


A:  David's Answer:  There would be many different factors the Court will consider, such as whether you're moving to be closer to your support system (i.e., relatives), whether you'll have a job waiting for you, and what efforts you've made to look for housing in NYC. The Court will also consider how often the father visits the child & how close the relationship is. You're best advised to schedule a consultation with a NYC Child Custody attorney for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Bronx Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
