My husbands X Wife wants to move from NY to CT with their 8 year old son. She is the custodial parent. Current child visitation is court ordered through the family court of Orange County, NY.
She has already made one unilateral move to Brooklyn a little over a year ago. That move happened while they were in family court working on the visitation schedule. She moved without telling my husband and he had to get her address from the courts. My husband did finally agree to this move and in the visitation papers it states that she must get his permission or the courts permission if she moves out of "Kings County".
My husband does not want another move for his son since he is doing extremely well in school. His son does not want to move again.
If she moves to CT we are told that my husband will lose jurisdiction. What does that exactly mean? The only thing we have been told is that he would not be able to have his attorney subpoena his teachers if needed.
She petitioned supreme court for the move but they denied it saying she had to go to family court and we know she will be filing papers soon.
This is a women who unfortunately tries to do everything to alienate my husband from his son. He filed for visitation since she would deny it and he went from seeing his son less than 10 hours a week (which was all she would allow when she wasn't angry) to now seeing him over 90 days a year including overnight stays and 1/2 the summer. We have to keep extensive records because of her lies and are afraid of what rights he will lose if she moves to CT and appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you
