Alex H asked:


im a fairly new driver, with a full license, id like to take my girlfriend out somewhere quiet and teach her a few basics before she takes proper lessons? can someone tell me what the law says about this? im proud of my clean license and dont want to jeopardise it,
I know you need to display L plates front and back, does she need to pass the theory first???

I have sole custody of my two children. My ex husbands visitation rights were suspended untill he attended drug treatment. I was remarried and was planning to move across country (from California) He was notified I was moving and made no legal effort to stop me. Shortly before I moved he was arrested and later convicted of attempted murder of his girlfriend. He was sentenced to 5 years. I have 2 problems #1 I live in Georgia and due to a conflict between GA and CA laws. GA says I have to file in CA (where he lives)and CA says I have to file in GA(where the violence is most likely to happen) so my restraining order is no longer in effect. And he is due to get out of prison any day.

#2 I have not and have no intention of telling him or any member of his family my location. And believe me his Dad has tried. They think I am in Atlanta which I am not. The DA child support has my address with all the do not release paper work. Can he claim I am denying him rights?
The case has me as a victim of DV so I have all the rights associated with that. But I am not sure about the address, as to who I have to notify and how to ensure it is not realeased. YES, I am hideing and I am willing to leave the country need be to protect my children from this man. He is very dangerous. But I want to stay within the law as much as I can. We have a great life now and I don’t want it to go back to the hell it was when I was married to him or when he was stalking me. He even moved 1001 feet from my home in CA and drove by my house daily after the restraining orders were put in place. The police said they could not do anything because it was “1001″ and not 1000(like they really measured.)

My girlfriend received 50% joint-custody for her 2 children. The father is pushing for full custody and is doing ANYTHING he can to get it. He currently lives with his girlfriend who has 3 children of her own and they have 1 together, this means if he gets full custody they will have 6 children in the household.
The court ordered that the parents get the children for a week and must be returned on Friday at 5 pm. However, since they are going to school they can be picked up from the parent taking over custody on Friday after school. The 3 yr old gets off at 11 am, the 5 yr old 3 pm. The 3 yr old gets every other Friday off, and those days fall on the fathers time and so we cannot pick him up until 5 pm.
Now my question is this: Since the court ordered that the children be picked up after school by the parent taking over custody, does my girlfriend have a chance at losing her part of custody because now the father is getting more than 50% of custody because he gets them “longer”?
Well if it matters, we live in California.
