I was denied relocation with my husband, our daughter & my 7 year old from previous relationship. I am appealing.

Business 3 views 3 answers
Our relocation is based on bettering the environment to raise our kids, better school system, and most importantly to be with my mother in law who has been battling MS for some years. My husband and I have been together 7 1/2 years and we have a 1 1/2 year old. My son's father picks our son up every other weekend, pays his school tuition, and goes to his school shows. He handles no other aspects of our child's day to day. Never any doctors visits, 1st day of school, or any parent/teacher nights. He does have twins and two stepdaughters and is married as well. But I commute to another state to work my full time job, and still handle my children's needs. My job has offered to let me work from home, should I move & my husband is to follow thru with his offers as an officer. Help please!

If you were denied the right to relocate by a Family Court Order, then you will have to 'perfect' and submit your appeal before the Appellate Division, which will include obtaining a transcript of the proceedings. This is a time consuming process, and the eventual result will depend, to a great degree, on the testimony and evidence presented. You really should consult and retain a qualified family law attorney for this purpose.

Make the appeal in time or you will lose the ability to do so.

Courts are reluctant to allow custodial parents to relocate without the non-custodial parents consent. It is impossible to state your chances of successfully appealing the order of the family court judge denying your application for permission to move out of state without reviewing the entire record. But, I am not surprised the judge denied your request if the primary reason for moving is to take care of your ill mother in law. if you have not already done so, you should immediately retain an experienced family court lawyer who handles appeals. He or she will be in a much better position to advise you after reviewing the court record.
