If there has been no court involvement to date there is no "custodial parent"; each has as much right to the child as the other until a court says otherwise. So, yes, either parent could remove the child fro CT at this point. The problem is that it will be CT court that decide with whom the child will live, and where, until the child has lived outside of CT for 6 months without court involvement. So, for example, if you took the child to Florida and within 6 months the other parent filed a motion in the CT court, it would be the CT court that would decide. After 6 months, with no filing here, Florida courts would get to decide. |
