Re-Marrying and moving out of California.
I have a 7 year old girl who's non-custodial father has visitation every other weekend (not court ordered). We were NEVER married or even been in a "relationship" when she was conceived. He's not on the Birth Certificate. Yes he does pay child support
I am getting married again next year in the State of California. We want to move to Tennessee because he (my fiancee) had lived there for 5 years before moving back to CA 4 years ago and he said work (construction) is booming. We both visited several times and decided we wanted to live our lives together there as a family. The schools are better (done the research), the pace is slower and the cost of living is much cheaper.
Another reason why we want to move out of here is because neither of us can find stable employment and housing here in the Silicon Valley area. I have been unemployed 3 times (Laid off that many times too due to "downsizing") and my fiancee is in Construction (union electrician) and that has it's empty spots too I personally am just at the "Poverty Line" according to the State of California Social Services guidelines.
My question is: I realize her non custodial father can protest (which he no-doubt will) and try to keep us from leaving. I am even willing to have her spend summers and Christmas Vacations with her dad so it's not like I'm taking her away from him. I WANT her to visit. But I also have to follow my family where the work is in case he gets a job in Tennessee.
What can I do in this situation? We're drowning here in this state and it's very hard to find housing that is affordable in California. A 1 bedroom small apartment is 900 ro 1000 a month compared to Knoxville, Tenn where a 3 bedroom HOUSE for rent is 700 a month I just lost my 2 bedroon apartment, which would be the very 1st time she had her own room. And now live in a VERY small cramped apartment that has barely enough room for our belongings. IT'S HORRIBLE! My fiancee and I just want a better life for ALL of us as a family.
I really need advice on this. Thank you.
