My son is almost 8 months old and has been living with me full time since birth in utah state. He was conceived almost 2 years after my ex and I divorced. I am now in the process of relocating to Washington state. I wanted to keep the courts out of it and come up with our own visitation agreements but his father is not having it. If I file for sole physical and legal custody can I still bring him to Washington state with me or can a court in utah make me stay there? If I am awarded full custody can I take my son with me wherever I choose as long as I stick to the visitation agreements whatever they may be? Like once every two months for two weeks for example...ps my son is still nursing please help!!!
Answer
First of all, I would recommend you get an attorney as soon as possible. I offer a free initial consultation if you would like to schedule a time to come in and see me. In response to your questions, I would recommend that you immediately file a paternity action seeking sole custody. The court would establish a visitation schedule for the father and we would be able to make it so you can make your move to Washington. We would just have to establish a long distance visitation schedule that works for everyone, taking into consideration your son's very young age. Please call me if you would like to set up a time. My office number is (801) 274-3100 and my cell number is (801) 455-2131. Thank you, Cory R. Wall
