Moving in with boyfriend before divorce is final

#762502 - 09/15/11 09:25 AM

Hi. I filed for divorce and it will be final in February. I have a 1 year old. Our custody judgment has already been signed. I was granted domicilary (sp) custody and my ex was granted supervised visitation. I have been living with my parents since November. As soon as we split my ex moved in with another woman and her child and neglected our son. He doesnt show up or even call about his visits. He has visited with him a total of 8 hours. About 4 months ago I began dating my best male friend of over 10 years. He has a child 3 months younger than mine and is divorced with full custody. I receive no child support or any type of help from my ex. Could there be any legal issues with me moving in with my boyfriend?

Is there a cohabitation clause in your custody order ?

If not, I don't see why there would be an issue.....your ex has no grounds to complain as he is shacking up already with his new gf. Why is his visitation supervised ?

My caution would be, even though you've known your new bf for 10 years, you've only been dating 4 months. What if this relationship doesn't work out ? Have you lived on your own ? I'd be more focused on being independent and providing a stable home for your child.

Technically you are still married and cohabitation is adultery. And although it's unlikely that this will ever be an issue at this stage of the game it's something to keep in mind. Agree with finz.

Just make sure there is no clause in your parenting agreement before you move in, it could come back and bite you in the ass if its in there.

Good Luck
