Can I leave the state with my child before divorce?
If there is some type of court action involving the children (divorce, custody, visitation, child support, etc.) that is in process, then it may be illegal for you to take the children out of state, even temporarily, without permission from the judge and/or consent of the other parent.
Why do mothers get primary custody?
Another factor courts use in making custody determination is the relationship between parent and child. Mothers are more likely to take more time off work or stay home entirely with their child than fathers. As a result, young children tend to look to their moms first for basic daily needs and emotional support.
Can a father get 50 percent custody?
There is no rule that children must spend equal or “50:50” time with each parent. In most cases, it’s best that both parents discuss their child’s individual needs, and come to their own agreement about where a child will live, and how they will spend time with their parents.
