HELP!
, I am seeking your legal input. I have been divorced 5 years. In that time I was granted sole legal and sole physical custody of our 8-year-old daughter. My ex attempted an abduction to Japan and also made false allegations. After she was caught in CA and ordered to return to MD for trial and also after an extensive investigation disproved her allegations, I was awarded full custody and she had supervised visitation, which has since evolved into alternating weekends for her.
My question:
I met someone in another country. We communicate daily via e-mail and telephone. We have spent time together during several visits to the US for a
week at a time during each of her (3) visits. We share the fact that we are both single parents. We enjoy being together and have a great time together.
She has met my daughter and they are both very comfortable with each other and enjoy being together.
It's been 5 years since I have been in love. I am in love now. My girlfriend and I have discussed her relocating here to get married.
I would like to know your thoughts on how best to achieve this objective and not jeopardize my custody. My ex surely will object. At what point is it considered safe or reasonable for me to remarry and live with someone new? I think it's reasonable to want to get on with my own life. Since my daughter fully supports my relationship and she shares my desire to re-marry and have a loving, caring, partner living with us.
What do I do next? I assume you will say I need to spend more time with her but how much is enough? I married my ex after 6 months, although we did live in the
same country. I want to move my relationship forward and make sure I'm legally safe. Your legal experience and general knowledge of Judges disposition on this type of issue is appreciated.
Your input is appreciated.
