Re: Question ???
don't know about NJ law. But some states only will change custody arrangements if her move is job related i.e. Improvement of wages, promotion, whatever. I don't know how they will see her moving to a commune as increasing her "lot in life". He will have to go to court if he is contesting the move, unfortunately.
I think 'residential custody' is the same things as 'who the children reside with mainly'. I'm not sure what the legal definition is. Joint legal allows both him and her to choose school, church, et al. I think - I'm no lawyer...
I hope you are right - so far the Court has given her a whopping amount of child support considering the fact that she doesn't work, refuses to work, has the ability to make twice as much as my husband - wants to be a professional welfare collector. And my husband has them 50% of the time. Not every other weekend! Basically the Court is enabling her to continue to be unproductive and lazy and live off the tax payers.

Re: Question ???
I don't think the court will let her move the kids away from their familiar surroundings. I think your hubby could get custody and let her move wherever she wants to go. She may change her mind if she knows this, at least that is what my hubby's ex did after he said he would contest it in court.

Re: Question ???
I know this to be the case in VA-my DH was the custodial parent of my 2 step kids-we moved to a different state and my DH got sued for custody and his ex won based ONLY on the fact that the judge thought it would be better for the kids to stay in VA. Nevermind the fact that this lady had dumped the kids on our doorstep 3 yrs prior saying she could no longer handle it!!
So, this sucked for us but i guess it could work out good for you.

Re: Question ???
I moved to Georgia from Ohio without the courts permission. My ex didn't fight it. I just moved. I did get him to sign a paper stating he was "ok" with the decision for me to move. Though it wasn't a legal document, it would at least show the judge that he didn't "care" if I moved with them or not. Our divorce papers state that we have togo to court for a judgeto decide if it was "ok" to move. I know in Ohio if you are moving to make a better life for your children, or a new job, then they basically always let you move and then they come up with an out of state visitation order. I wish you luck. IMO though she doesn't sound to motivated, moving with children is not an easy task especially when you are a single parent. I can't imagine being on drugs and trying to relocate, seems impossible to me.
The more you complain, the longer God makes you live.

Re: Question ???
please clarify "residential custody" as we're all not clear on it?
when i divorced my girls father in 89 i was granted "sole physical custody" which meant they lived with me.
He had joint legal custody which i was told meant for example "if the girls needed life threaten medical decisions made i had to consult him."
I moved in 94 to NH and then in 2000 to Georgia and 02 to Missouri.True once i left Calif in 94 he didnt keep in as good of touch with them as he could have and it harmed thier relationships alot.
*if she has physical i think she has the right to decide where she lives tho.
I finally found the one man not like all the rest!
