Now, she does not have full custody WE do, me and my husband she could not afford to fight for custody several years ago as she was a stay at home mother and did not work and she cheated and left but she left their child with her father and they had an agreement she could visit whenever she wanted but thatwasn't going to work forever lol anyways so now I find out she is moving in 8 months because her husband got a job in another province and she wants to be with him (they have kids together) she does not HAVE to move either she could stay here while he works out there and visit here. I know her daughter is a little upset by her moving but not overly as she does have her own life these days. The thing is now the mother is asking for summer visits like HALF of the summer!!! why should we give up half the summer to her because she wants to move? That is not my problem and if she wanted to see her child she would stay here right now she sees the child every other weekend and if she moves she wants to have her half the summer because every other weekend isn't going towork, this child is almost 12 and we don't want her flying alone and we shouldn't have to alter our lives because her mother is moving! I know she cannot afford a lawyer and we can so I am wondering if we should go to court and tell them she should not have her half the summer or we can just say no, we aren't the ones altering anything!

You give her summers because it is in the BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD. Doesn't matter if it is inconvenient to you. All parents should nurture and encourage the child to have a healthy relationship with the other parent.. NO matter the circumstances.

IMO she should have the right to move where she likes. There are many families where the child spends whole summers with the parent who doesn't have custody and she's only asking fo half. You should remember she's the mother after all and how hard it must be for her. It doesn't make sense at all for her to stay here while her husband moves away, that would be splitting up another family.

You can't do anything. Step-mothers have zero legal rights, in Canada, the USA, or elsewhere unless established by a court - which VERY rarely happens, and it usually in the case of an adoption. The term "step-mother" is hundreds of years old, and was used when a child's mother died, and another mother stepped in. It is rather irrelevant, especially legally, in today's society.

If your HUSBAND has full custody, she cannot move outside the province and take the child. All you can do is have her dad go to court to petition against it. If your husband has full custody, they will likely not let her out of the province with her mother - at least not full time.

If is going to move, but isn't taking your partner's child, I'd consider letting her have 50% of the summer. It is a compromise, and will give her some opportunity to spend time with her mom. Unaccompanied minor flying is very safe. It can be expensive, but the ultimately should be the cost of the mother. If she wants to move away, she is agreeing to spend thousands a year on flights and unaccompanied minor status.

You don't want her dad to seem spiteful and bitter. This is the child's mother, and she should be able to see her. The court WILL want to allow the child to see her mother. They will likely agree to 50/50 summers or something close to that - but I would petition for her to cover all the traveling costs and assure that she will be paying for unaccompanied minor status. Oh, and her dad she also allow her mother to take her on a vacation/special trip each year. This child deserves and has the right to see her mother.

They have free legal aid in Canada for low income families. But like I said, you legally cannot do anything. This has to be left up to her parent.

Does the court order say she can visit the child or she can take the child, or what? Can she afford to pay for the child to visit her? You need to talk to a lawyer to see exactly what you are up against and if you need more court action to stop it.
