    Custodial parent wanting to move
    I am a custodial parent in n.c. Ive received some child support off and on. There is no visitation or child custody order in place. So my question is can I move out of state with my child?

    Does daddy and child(ren) ever visit? What about grandparents? Sure, you can move out of state with your child.

    He didn't want to come visit her until he started paying child support sparatically. Not only did he want to drop in every blue moon but he also wanted to come and take her out of the home even though she's never been around enough to know him. And he's driving on a suspended license due to numerous dui's. His parents have never seen her and probably don't even know she exists. I don't even know most of his family.

    Ideally, you should get a custodial order, awarding your daughter to you. You shouldn't have much problem. I don't see why you can't take her.

    Exactly - get an Order, save yourself future problems.

    Otherwise, I see no problem if you move.

    You initially state you are the custodial parent, then say there is no custody order in place. Do you mean any custodial order or just in terms of the father.

    As long as there is no court ordered visitation schedule, then you are free to move. But it would make things easier if you firmed up your custody legally.

    Future problems as in him taking me to court for visitation or custody? Its been four years and he hasn't cared enough to even call her on birthdays, if he even knows it. I don't think he would go through the trouble of going that route. Thanks for the advice.

    This response is to ScottGem. When I say custodial I mean just in terms of the father. I know that in nc child support and child custody are two separate issues. So as far as the child support issue Im listed as the custodial parent and he's listed as non custodial.

    Right, future problems such as he gets married and his wife pushes him to get to know your child or he has a change of heart. Your child is also entitled to child support.

    If you get a chance look through some of the other threads - parents show up literally out of the woodwork all the time.
