In this episode, we take real-life custody scenarios anonymously posted on the internet and get @LawyerJulie's overall thoughts, where the law comes in to play, and some ideas of how she might handle the situation. Please remember that Julie is NOT giving legal advice and these are NOT stories from her actual clients.

We cover a lot in this episode, including:

  • Do parents have to give permission to their co-parent to take their kids far away on vacation?
  • Can a judge force a child to see a parent they don't know?
  • Is it a good idea to give up custody to avoid conflict stemming from parental alienation?
  • Is it worth going to court to get 50/50 custody when you are asked to settle on just a little less than 50%?
  • Relocation - can you buy a house an hour away and force your coparent to drive your kids to you?

Have a scenario you'd like Julie's thoughts on? Feel free to email the podcast at lawyerjulie55@gmail.com!
