The court order contains all of the requirements. Everything else is just the other parent trying to pull a fast one. An order cannot require that a person never moves - but a person moving could, potentially, have other implications. Unfortunately, you will not get specific advice on this... View More

If he is planning a trip out of state, is he supposed to make me aware of when they are leaving, for how long and where they are going? As well as obtain my permission to cross state lines with them?

The order should address these issues. A lawyer here would not know the answer to that question without reviewing the order.

Any recommendations on affordably priced individuals? It was a misunderstanding and I attempted to purchase the items but they did not allow it.
