Ask a Lawyer: Moving Children and Continued supportPosted by: Dads Divorce on Dec 8, 2003 |

Question:
A family lived in Ohio. The wife went with the children to visit family in MN and stayed the required 180 days before filing for divorce. The father has moved twice in order to be close to his children and is currently living in WI. The wife now wants to move back to OH with the 2 children to live with her boyfriend. What are the father's rights regarding custody (currently joint custody but he has to live in MN to have a say in decisions about rearing the children i.e. school, etc). If she moves in with her boyfriend, does the father have to continue to pay support and/or maintenance?
Answer:
Child support payments do not stop if she lives with someone. Maintenance payments may stop if she cohabitates with a boyfriend, but it generally depends on the Decree's terms. Since I am not licensed in Minnesota, i can not specifically advise you on that point.
