Relocating my children after a divorce to best benefit them
I have been divorced now for just over a year. I have full custody of my daughters and my ex only has visitation rights, which he does not use. He also does not pay any of the child support that the court granted me, which was very little to begin with. I moved from Indiana to New Jersey several months ago but because I didn't want to take my children out of school they are staying with my parents until the school year is over. In the meantime, my boyfriend and I are taking this time to buy a home and find the best schools for the kids. My ex is all of a sudden saying that he isn't sure if he wants me to move away with the kids. He has nothing to do with them and I do not believe it to be a benefit to them by having him involved in their lives. He doesn't work, he lives off other people. I feel that the best interest of my children would be to move to New Jersey with me and my boyfriend so they will have a stable family and two positive role models in their lives. What can I do to make sure this happens? Can he stop me from moving? What are my rights to provide the best for my children?
