A: I would frame the question like this; should a child lose their right to have a meaningful relationship with the grandparents simply because their guardian is moving? You will need to have an attorney review the full order granting you custody. Often, when another grandparent has been formally granted visitation rights, the custodian needs to file a notice of intent to relocate so a new visitation schedule can be created.
