Need Help with Letter to Court Relocating with My 2 Kids.

Sending a letter to the court isn't the proper way of dealing with your desire to leave the state. Seek legal advice before proceeding forward.

Child support is a separate issue from custody which is also separate from visitation. Proper legal counsel will guide you in the right direction for a pending move and future legal proceedings involving the father of your children.

A letter isn't what you should do.

You need to contact your legal counsel on this matter.

I do not think it is so simple as to write a letter to the court. You have some red tape to go through and your best interest for yourself and your children is to seek legal counsel so you don't end up something unexpected.

I wouldn't be soliciting help from people on the internet with something this critical. Talk to your attorney and if you don't have one, call legal aid and get help.

A letter is not the way to go about handling custody and visitation matters. I advise you to get some legal advice so you will know the proper procedure for making your request.

You need to look over your court orders and see if there is a geographical restriction in place, usually the primary or sole custodian has the right to determine residency so you can live wherever you want if there is no restriction in your custody order.

I think you need to speak with someone who can look at exactly what is in your existing legal agreement before you decide to go write letters. What's already spelled out would be absolutely key in appealing to a court. Who told you to write a letter? In most states, someone in your situation would file for a modification of the existing custody/visitation orders.

I would think, if you cannot support yourself and need to move in with your parents, if the father isn't paying support and if there's a restraining order, you wouldn't have a whole lot of problems getting it approved, but you have to do everything exactly right so you aren't found in contempt of the current order. Talk to the lawyer/mediator who arranged your existing order, or contact Legal Aid. If your parents are willing to help you, perhaps they can pay the fee.

This is not a situation where you write letters, this is a situation where you speak in person to the judge or another court representative (mediator, etc). You should call your local Legal Aid office and ask for the assistance of a lawyer.
