I have limited visitation in Indiana 1 weekend a month. The mother just told me that she is moving the end of the month to Florida. Is my visitation order recognized in all states? I will move down to Florida too to be close to my grandson. Will I have to start over with more court and attorney fees?
Thanks

If you have court ordered visitation, she cannot move without the approval of the court. It would violate your rights.

You can actually go to court and probably have her stopped from moving.

But to answer your actual question, yes, the court order is in effect anywhere in the country until another court with jurisdiction changes it. IN court would retain jurisdiction if you were to remain in IN. FL will gain it once you both live there for 6 months.

Thanks Steve, you eased my mind a little bit.

You need to go to Family Court and get an injunction against her moving. From there you can negotiate. Tell her you are willing to allow the move and actually move down to FL after her, but you would like a modification of the visitation. I would go for too much, maybe a week during the summer or some other concessions.
