so i'm guessing that there was no original order in the custody direction about her having to keep him in state. that sucks ass.

I'm so sorry. :( I really hope this gets resolved in a way that's best for the children.
It's unfortunate that we still have such a bias towards women getting custody of children, even when the father may be a much better parent.

Didn't you say originally that she needed the court's permission to move out of state, or it's kidnapping?

How did that not factor at all into the temporary custody hearing?

I'm baffled.

A random attorney that I contacted told me that it would be illegal for her to take him out of state. I've since found out that wasn't true.

A refresher while I wait for the mediation date...

The psychologist we've been taking my son to has confirmed my assumptions. He's depressed about all of the moves she's made on top of everything else. The psych. said he needed a structured environment instead of what she's been putting him through. Also, since I started this process, the ex decided to take me back for more child support. I guess it's her version of revenge. That won't be decided until we go back to court to settle everything else though.

you need to be sure and get the psychologist to testify to the judge

PDOUBLEOP,
Hang in there, we are rooting for you. And thanks for the update. Things will all work out.

I very much appreciate the support from everyone. Thank you.

Well I think u should fight some more...brothers should not be spilt apart. plus if you have a full-time well playing job I don't see why you can't get them both!

There is a guy I work with him and his woman split and when they move apart he is going to fight for full custody for both his daughters, he has a full-time job that pays good, and his Ex doesn't even have a job!

We've gone through the mediation process. Nothing has been resolved. She wouldn't give me custody and I wouldn't accept anything less. Now it's time for a Guardian ad Litem to do an investigation. This is such an excruciatingly long process...
