A: My understanding of the law is that his objection must be done in the court proceedings in which your custody decree is entered. If he hasn't done so, I would say you may relocate without being in violation of the relocation statute. If he objected by filing his objection in the court suit, my recommendation would be to file for court approval of your proposed relocation. Give me a call; I'd be happy to discuss this with you further.
