when a custodial parent moves out
00:07
and if they just take up and leave say
00:09
they just i’m leaving i’m moving
00:12
and there is a parenting time order in
00:15
place where the parent left behind has
00:17
court-ordered parenting time
00:19
well
00:20
you can call the police you can call the
00:22
courts and you’ll get a court order
00:25
that will then be sent to wherever these
00:27
children are
00:28
assuming you know the location and these
00:30
children will be brought back to
00:31
minnesota they’ll be brought back to the
00:33
state
00:34
and then
00:35
the court will
00:37
hold a hearing
00:38
to see if
00:40
the circumstances are such that it’s in
00:42
the best interest of the children to
00:45
be relocated out of state with that
00:47
parent i’ve seen it happen
00:50
where
00:51
a
00:52
custodial
00:53
parent moved to north dakota with the
00:56
child the client that we represented had
00:58
parenting time and it was court ordered
01:00
but it was one day a week or
01:02
one overnight a week and maybe one
01:05
one dinner a week it was very very small
01:07
amount of parenting time
01:09
so
01:10
as soon as that person moved out without
01:12
permission we got a court order and the
01:14
child was brought back to minnesota
01:16
however we did have the hearing and we
01:20
made all of the arguments we could to
01:21
keep that child in minnesota but
01:23
uh this mother had had moved out with
01:27
her new husband to north dakota he was
01:29
following the oil boom his business was
01:31
there
01:32
and the court
01:33
determined that mother did not move out
01:36
in order to thwart father’s parenting
01:38
time
01:40
which is one of the factors and so he
01:42
ended up getting more parenting time
01:43
during the summer than he had in order
01:45
to compensate him for the parenting time
01:47
that he was losing when mother moved out
01:50
of state so
01:52
every case is highly nuanced but the
01:54
first step is the kid gets brought back
01:57
if a child is taken and the father
02:00
doesn’t have any parental rights doesn’t
02:03
have any um court-ordered parenting time
02:05
it can be a different story it’s a lot
02:06
more challenging
