This is about my SIL and her DD...
SIL got pregnant by a guy, who turned out to be -well, a big jerk. He got physicially abusive a few times, etc. They broke up, and never lived together.
As is it now, her DD is four years old. She has had some visitation with him, almost all supervised for short periods. Her DD had been seeing a therapist for the courts, and the therapist and two medical doctors found DD to be sexually abused. That was about a year ago, and SIL stopped all visitaion.
Things have been fine until just now, when the dad got back into court and got the abuse thrown out. Now he is scheduled to get his visitations back, and SIL is very upset.
We live thousands of miles away from SIL in a different state, and she has said she would like to move here to get her DD away from the dad.
I am wondering about the legalities of it. What if she just left? What if she tried to get 'permission' to move? Can he stop her? Could he stop her if she was allready here? How long can she 'vacation' here?
I am concerned about her DD, and just thought I would try to help as much as I could.
