Moving Out of State

Well he sounds like one of those dead beat fathers by what your saying. However he still has his rights for visitation even if he doesnot choose to use them. If he has know vehicle that would explain his not getting them . This is what I would do in your case. I would file a motion with the court to modifly the orignal order asking for sole custody,or you can still keep joint custody,but I would ask the judge if you could move out of state due to your husbands job. I would also stipulate that the father is to be able to pick up the child and bring her back on all visits. I know your getting married not married yet. So as soon as your married you can file that motion. Don't do it before your married. Well as to how often he can see his daughter that would depend with your moving out of state,my guess if he paid once it would be surprizing since he is not seeing her now. Usally with joint custody he could get every other holiday and some of the summer and spring break. Again you can stipulate what is best for the child and like I said he probarly won't come and get her and if he does it won't be often cause it takes money and a car. But it is always imporant that the child has that contact with her father if he wants it. Children need that feeling of both parents loving them.
