Q: In the state of alabama can you leave the state with a child when the father have visitation right to the child
A: You may leave the state, but before you do, you will probably need to comply with the provisions of the Alabama Parent Child Relationship Protection Act. This Act may (but does not always) require you to give a certain notice to the other parent within a certain time before you plan to leave. It allows him or her to file an objection to the move in court, and allows the judge to decide whether or not the child may leave and what, if any, modifications to the visitation schedule may be appropriate. The judge can prohibit the child being moved. The judge may require you to pay for the costs associated with visits...there are a lot of possibilities.
