Can I stop my ex from moving with my child?

Can a father get 50 50 custody?
There is no rule that children must spend equal or “50:50” time with each parent. If you and your former partner agree on the future arrangements for children, you do not have to go to court. You can make a parenting agreement or obtain ‘consent orders’ for parenting orders approved by a court.
What age can a child talk to a judge?
