Gloria Allred vs. LaMusga's Attorney on Move-Aways
Since the 1996 Burgess decision, California courts
have allowed custodial mothers to move with their children
after divorce. While Burgess involved only a 40 mile
move within the same county, it has been interpreted by
California courts to permit moves of hundreds or thousands
of miles. Recently the California Supreme Court issued an
historic opinion in LaMusga which will allow divorced
dads to block moves which can be shown to be harmful to the
bonds they share with their children.
At the heart of many move-away decisions is the question "do
fathers matter or not?"
Gloria Allred is the feminist attorney who won the Burgess
case in 1996. Garret Dailey recently defeated a move-away
mom and the dozens of feminist organizations which supported
her in LaMusga. Gloria and Garrett debated the
move-away issue on His
Side with Glenn Sacks.
