I’m Devastated! Please Pray, Send Thougts, Well Wishes…Anything!
I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out and it’s not easy to type when you are so emotional and upset. Caleb’s dad is now giving me a hard time about moving. My paperwork states “the domicile of the minor child shall not be removed from the state of Michigan without the prior consent of this court. The legal custoian of the minor child is hereby ordered to notify the office of the Friend of the Court for Charlevoix County and the non-custodial parent of any change of address of said minor child immediately.” Aside from that everything was ok a couple days ago and he wasn’t arguing with me about it.
We just had a very heated discussion. I called Friend of the Court. We have to go in front of the judge on Sept 18th. Chad is fighting me about this move now. Please pray for favor in this situation. I can’t imagine having my son taken away from me! I’m so upset with his dad that I could ring his neck!
Praying… praying… praying….. oh my word! did you hear the thud? that was my knees hitting the floor…..

Praying for ya girl! This sounds devastating. I hope “dad” becomes reasonable and isn’t trying to manipulate.

Oh my god. Keep us posted.
If you can… go to my blog and post this under my Best of the Single Parent Blogosphere post… maybe my readers will be able to help.
I have talked to my lawyer about this before and he said as long as the father’s time wtih the child is kept to a minimum - like mine is - just 36 hours a week it’s hard to argue that you have to stay in the state. Good luck. Thinking of you…

I am definitely praying for you….I know how excited you and Caleb have been and that is just another way for evil to come in and ruin it all.
I will be thinking and praying for you and hopefully all will be settled and you can live in your beautiful new home with your little boy.

Hopefully this won’t prevent you from moving. Its too bad he just couldn’t cooperate with you on it. I can’t even count how many parents I know who have moved away, most of them doing it without even bothering to notify the other parent including my own ex-husband.
As long as you can prove the move is best for you and your son, the court (and his dad) won’t stop you.
I’m praying Tishia. You WILL have favor in this manner.

OMG Tishia! How rude for him to put you in this downward spiral. Caleb is getting of age too and the courts will see who has taken care of him for the past 10 years. Don’t worry girl. God will take care of this for you. Just keep praying and I will to. Keep us updated.

With everything I have gone through with my sister, I understand to some degree what you are going through. It burns me up to see a non-custodial parent try to fight for custody over pettiness. If he was ok with it before, there’s no reason to not be ok with it now. Period.
You’re a good mom, Tishia. You have to trust that it will all work out in the end. Let God have control of the situation and He will take care of it. You go into court calmly and tell your side. You’re not moving out of state. You are moving further than the 100 miles, but you did already talk to him about it, and he was already ok with it. You tell them that and pray for God to take care of it.
Love you and hang in there!
Shannon Smith’s last blog post..Heard on Twitter
This just turns my stomache! I had to do the whole court thing with my ex 6 years ago over our 1 year old daughter. It is so incredibly stressful, scary, and downright frustrating. I actually can’t take our daughter out of our county and neither can he. Of course, I was stupid to agree to that on my side. And we take her where we want, but it kind of sucks because I live in Sarnia and we can’t take her over the border to Michigan to go shopping.
But like Shannon said, you’re a good mom and you have to believe in that. Your son has been with you from day 1, so as far as a judge will see, there’s no legitimate reason why he would give custody to his dad.
I’m prayin for you. Please keep us posted!
Please be aware that the Friend of the Court has a financial conflict of interest in child custody determinations.

Here is some information that I prepared regarding child custody hearings that you may find useful. I’m not a lawyer, and it’s not legal advice.

I will pray for the best for you, Caleb, Caleb’s father, and that the court may rule with wisdom and justice.
OMG! People just amaze me sometimes! I’ll keep you and Caleb in my prayers. Just stay strong, and show the court that this move would be the best for Caleb, and best for you has his primary caregiver.

Praying for you Tishia. It should all work out in your favor. Hopefully all is resolved in one day and you don’t have a long drawn out process.
