A: First, review the current order to determine if the parent has to provide notice of the move or if there are limitations relating to the move. If there aren't limitiations in the order, the parent can move. However, if the move will interfere with the noncustodial parent's visitation, the parent can file a petition to modify custody to obtain full custody or to change visitation based upon the move.

If you are concerned about a potential or actual move, consult with an experienced family law attorney in an office visit.
