Post: Can MIL prevent us from leaving state by getting visitation?
Posted by Danielle on 7/30/10
State of Law: Pennsylvania
My fiance and I (we're not married yet) have two children
together. We moved from California to Pennsylvania because
my fiance's mother offered to give us a house. When we
arrived here, it turned out that she didn't want to give us
the house, but instead decided to 'rent' it to us. First
they tried to get us to sign a renters agreement and we
refused (we came on the context that there were no strings
attached). They sent us an email recently that had a 'legal
tone' to it, and we didn't respond. We now want to move out
of the house and live elsewhere in PA - and have nothing to
do with the grandparents. We're fit, we're supporting
ourselves with jobs, children are taken care of, and they
did not have full custody at any point. Sometimes the
oldest has sleepovers at their house.
If we don't comply with them, they might be worried that
we'll return to California (where all of our families are).
Could they try to sue for custody, partial custody, or
visitation - to prevent us from moving and keep us stuck in
PA?
