My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Oklahoma
I'll try to keep this as short as I can but there are many details I feel will help you give me some answers.
I am a father of an 18 month old. He lives with his mother and has from the beginning. His mother and I were never married and we broke up shortly after our son was born. I signed AOP in hospital but never pursued any custody. My son has my last name. The mother and I have gotten along well enough to handle things out of court thus far. I pay a small amount of child support that we agreed on each month. I see my son a couple times during the week after work where he lives and have him about half the day on Saturdays. He is very attached to his mother and is still breastfeeding which I've supported. After a failed try at an overnight visit at my house we decided it was best to continue shorter day visits for the time being.
Here is where my question comes in.
The mother claims she needs to move to Colorado where her family is relocating. EDIT: Forgot to mention that the move is planned to take place in several months. END EDIT. She is about to finish school and has also found better job opportunities in the Denver area where her family already owns a home. She gets financial help from her parents and her mother watches our son while she works part time and goes to school.
She claims it would be best for our son to move with her because of job opportunities, our son's close relationship with his grandmother, and better schools than Oklahoma. Here are my questions.
Can I keep her from moving?
If I can't keep her from moving, can I get at least 50-50 physical custody?
If I can't get 50-50 physical custody, what would a court likely enforce as far as visitation goes?
Who will have to pay for transportation?
I work overtime during the week, will a court frown upon having my son in daycare during his visits with me?
Thanks in advance for your input.
