Question about child custody and divorce
Posted on 8/6/22 at 11:25 am

Short of it is, we currently live in the same town as my mother but my soon to be ex wife is going to attempt to move back to Texas where her parents are. We live in a “joint custody” state, I have no red flags in my background and I’ve been the soul provider for my family the last four years. Chances a judge would allow her to take our daughter and move? Yes, I will have a good lawyer soon.

Divorce decree should limit where she can take the kid by geographical restrictions. State-dependent but is likely the case. Make sure it’s in the decree.

If she’s thinking about leaving before the divorce is finalized, you’ll likely need to seek a TRO to stop her once you know for sure.

looks like you are moving to texas then if you want to see your daughter
judges will always side with moms and moving to take care of relatives is extra credit on their side against you so the judge DGAF about your wishes or if you are put out by it

You need to rush to a family attorney and file for separation. 50/50 custody but Request to be the domiciliary parent. That gives you legal authority to decide where the child resides
You must get the legal stuff in place ASAP if you wish to prevent her from running away with your child

Get ready for her to claim you forced her to move away from her family and claim you have mentally traumatized her.

You need to file for divorce first in your home state to keep her from leaving. Do not let her move and file where she moves. In Louisiana a parent has to obtain permission from the other parent or the court to move out of state.
Now if she is only moving a couple of hours away and seeing the children won't be an issue then you can work out an agreement.
You need to speak with a family law lawyer asap.

This is bad advice. Get a lawyer asap.

Was not the case in my situation. I used to think this was true as well. Female judge, gave me everything I asked for.
Sorry you’re facing this OP but you’ll be a new man after it’s all settled.

I am pretty sure you want the divorce to happen in Louisiana vs Texas. Most of the guys I know that have been divorced in Texas say they were taken to the cleaners unless the divorce was amicable. Even then, it was 50/50.

Agreed. As a man, I got custody of our son from my ex-wife and she is supposed to pay ME child support of all things. It was an extreme win for my son.
For starters, while I was working and her staying home, she didn't even bother getting up to get him to school...he missed 30 days of Kindergarten and 45 of the 1st grade, with an equal amount of tardies. Not exagerrating either. Had no clue, and Truancy never contacted me.
We went through a custody evaluation process which revealed all sorts of mental instability on her end. That was really the deciding factor.
She ended up getting pregnant with someone random in Carencro, then moved to Texas soon after. She is barely a part of his life now.
Definitely get a lawyer to keep the child in this state though!

This. You need to get that family lawyer like yesterday.

Not sure what state yo are in, I just went through it with my ex. Hire a great lawyer (the best you can afford) and try, but the deck is stacked against you.
I am now looking at moving to Ohio because that is where the courts allowed my ex to take our children (from Texas). That is after having a MSA in place that "limited" her to Dallas county and the surrounding counties.
A great lawyer still doesn't equate to a win. You have to ask yourself how bad of a fight do you want to put up and still potentially lose. By "potentially" I mean likely.
Fathers have about 2/3rds the rights as mothers in family court, we are like the negroes of old...
