Question: Ex-wife and I have joint legal and phsical custody with 50% time shared. She was court order to pay me child support(extremely upset over this ruling) Than she did the unthinkable, I was arrested on false accusations of domestic violence and she put a restraining order on me. With her obtaining restraining order could entitled her to get full custory and child support. Both cases were dismissed!! During the waiting period for these court dates she took our children and moved back to were we used to live. Both agreed to live in Fresno and also provided that this case was to be transferred was granted.(case has not yet been accepted in Fresno) We have been in Fresno since 6-04-08. She wants full custody and to reside there. I didnt permit our children to leave. Can she just get away w/this?
Matthew Answers: The short answer is no, she cannot get away with this, but you have to take steps to hold her accountable. I would strongly suggest that you find competent counsel who can deal with these issues and flush out the truth. Simply stating “the accusations are false” is not sufficient. Regarding the move by your ex wife, that would be largely dependent on what the orders say as far as relocation of the children’s residence is concerned.
