jurisdiction question

[haiku]

What is the name of your state? boredom

OK while I am waiting for my work to be done, I am reading all this jurisduction stuff.

Scenario:

Divorce granted in illinois. custodial moves to indiana, followed in a few years by NCP. CP moves back to illinois. NCP then moves to Iowa, an hour away from CP.

CP moves every year for a few years through out illinois, and now decides she wants to go back to indiana.

Can NCP request that Illinois not let her leave the state with the child even though HE no longer lives in Illinois?

humour me!

humour me!

Iowa is next to Illinois? LOL

Why did the man cross the road? 'Cause he heard the chicken was a slut.


I don't know the answer to the jurisdiction question, but if you want a guess I'd say...I don't know.

Maybe yes because NCP is still fairly close?

Why on earth would they want to move back here when they finally got out?

Yes I owa does share a border with ilinois...but this was hypothetical-whats wrong with Indiana? it looked alright ot me passing thru other than flat. LOL .

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Kindergarten Teacher: To get to the other side.

Plato: For the greater good.

Aristotle: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.

Timothy Leary: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take.

Ronald Reagan: I forget.

Bill Clinton: There is no improper crossing.

Captain James T. Kirk: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

Hippocrates: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.

Louis Farrakhan: The road, you see, represents the black man. The chicken 'crossed' the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.

Martin Luther King, Jr.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives being called into question.

Moses: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

Fox Mulder: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?

Richard M. Nixon: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.

Machiavelli: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

Freud: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

Bill Gates: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents and balance your checkbook.

Darwin: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.

Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Buddha: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: The chicken did not cross the road .. it transcended it.

Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

Colonel Sanders: I missed one?

One would wonder if the NCP could make a case for having been forced to move multiple times to maintain a certain PHYSICAL proximity to CP because of her moves. If NCP can show that he has stayed no further than a limited distance (even if in another state), perhaps he can make the point that she should be limited in her move to no more than X miles from NCP. I can live in the same state as someone and be much further away from them than I am from one who resides just south in the next state.

Were I he, I'd attempt to keep her within an hour away, as I'd be sick and tired of following her. Whatever state that turns out to be. Seems that it is the distance, rather than the state which should be relevant. But I could be operating on vacation-brain and jet lag.

tired of following her, and watching his kid get enrolled in anew school every year or two.

it's a tough one....

I especially liked those 2 answers. I could just hear MLK's booming voice giving that speech.

And I knew this thread would spawn a hypothetical discussion with nextwife. She loves picking our brains.

Who? Moi?

"Fox Mulder: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?"

I like that one, too!

I believe the answer is yes. (Hope I remember this right) The way it was explained to me is that where ever the child lives has jurisdiction but residency has to be established and the state the CP lives in has to request jurisdiction to be turned over to the state they are residing in. So, if jurisdiction was in IL (meaning, that's where the intitial order was) then they still hold it until they turn it over to the state the child is in.

Whew, I hope I got that right and didn't butcher the info.

hey grace you did very well considering I derailed my own thread LOL
