Can you move out of state while getting a divorce?
In California, at least one party must be a resident of the state and county where the divorce is filed. If you move out of state before the divorce is filed or while the case is pending, you can still handle the case in a California court if your spouse continues to meet the residency requirements.
Can you move out of state if you have full legal custody?
Typically, a parent can’t move a child to another county or state without prior approval from the court that issued the original custody order. A judge could even change custody arrangements in favor of the noncustodial parent.
Do dads always get 50 50 custody?
Dads are not automatically entitled 50-50 custody, or any custody order for that matter. Likewise, there is nothing in the family code that automatically grants custody to fathers solely on the basis that they are the dad. The standard the court uses during a divorce is the best interest of the child.
Why do moms usually get custody?
Because so much modern child bearing is non-marital, and because mothers of such children are much more likely to have a substantial relationship with their children than are such fathers, mothers of children born out of wedlock are more likely to be awarded custody.
