Divorce question. If anyone can help me. I have a friend that has a girlfriend that lives in Las Vegas.?

[bedyw25]

She is divorced and has two children. But she has told him that the judge will not let her relocate to Texas because the state has a law saying that women and children can not leave Las Vegas because of people saying that Vegas is not a place to raise children. She is not relocating because of that but just because she wants to live down here with her boyfriend. Can anyone help me find out the truth. I've tried to look online for laws in that state to state something to what she had told him.

She is correct. If she wants to move with her LDB then she can leave the children with their father and SHE can visit them. That would make her a pretty bad parent though...

In most custody situations the primary residency parent is NOT allowed to move the children out of state. It would then cause the children to see their other parent less - if at all - and cause parental alienation.

Also, the person moving - if a judge allows it - is the person that has to pay ALL transportation costs to get the children to and from their scheduled visitations with the other parent.

My advice to you? Butt out...
