Rulings of Relocation Cases
Stop the absurd rulings in relocation cases that are affecting the well-being of the children and the child's stability. Be a voice for the children, fight to have these cases reconsidered.
Why is this important?
My family wants to relocate to another state for enhanced opportunities, a healthier lifestyle, and a calling to ministry in Indiana. However the Judges are ruling that in relocation cases, regardless of the negligence of the other parent involved, custody is then split 50/50 thus the children relocate from one state, school, and parent yearly. In some cases the children have been completely removed from the mother and the father received full custody with absolutely no negligence on the mothers part. I realize the judge is trying to make it hard for parents to relocate but each case should be considered different and never disrupting the children on a year to year basis like that. This is illogical and detrimental to their well-being. Our case has not even been tried yet because we fear this happening to us and our family now has no voice. Be a voice for the families that have better opportunities and the children that are affected, force these rulings to be reconsidered!
