Domestic Partnership — ex-spouse relocating with children

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

ex-spouse relocating with children. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
