QUESTION
Can the incarcerated father of my kids prevent me from moving with my kids to another state?
Asked on May 11th, 2015 on Child Custody - Indiana
More details to this question:
My kids father is incarcerated for 5 class B felonies and will not be released until 2019. No visitation is allowed by the correctional facility due to his felonies being sexual misconduct with a minor. I am wanting to move out of state and have filed a letter of intent with the courts and sent a letter to him since our original agreement stated I had to inform him of the move. Can he prevent me from moving since this will not interfere with visitation? Also can the grandparents stop me from moving out of state?

Father can ask, but it is up to the judge if the father files a motion to object to the move. Very unlikely the judge would sustain his objection under these facts. The grandparents have no standing to object at all.
