Divorce

Dear sting:

Greetings. Does your friend have a court order for domestic violence? She may be able to move from the state - but it depends on what her court order says, how this will affect visitation, and what her husband does with the courts to try to keep the chidlren in state. Thank you.

My friend has just recently separated from her husband. She was placed in a womens shelter and has just recently moved into an apartment with her 4 kids. Department of social services is involved cause there was verbal threats and abuse directed at the kids and my friend. As of right now she has the kids and her husband gets to see them, but only while being supervised. My friend has the right to deny him visitations as of right now. The question that I have is can she move out of the state of North Carolina with her kids? Thanks
