Moving towns with daughter

Hello

Just wondering, I have moved on with a new partner who is great and great with my daughter, he has just been offered a job in the mines which would mean I would need to move away from my home town and where my daughters father lives. I would be financially better there as he has a house and a well paying job, which would mean I would be able to be with my daughter more and focus on my studies.

My daughters father has been away twice in the last 6 months for huge 4 weeks each time. When he is home he sees her for 6 hours on a Sunday when i go to work, I have a domestic violence order against him which was put in place by the police, he has a huge history with the police and does not pay me any child support. We don't have any court orders in place. Considering these circumstances I am just wondering if I would be able to move with my daughter and new partner? could he put up a fight? and does anyone have any similar stories that would be great to here. I don't want to feel stuck in a town just because of my ex.

Yes he could put up a fight. He could get court orders dragging you back. Get legal advice before doing anything.

Get legal advice.
Court orders in place or not, he can go to court and get you forced to move back, or he could get primary custody of the child.

Yes he can stop you regardless of whether he sees your child or not... Get legal advice before you do anything!! Good luck!
