Q: My daughter and I are wanting to move out of state next summer. She is 16 yrs old. what do i have to do?
Her father and her dont really have a relationship, on her choice. For me, i have family down there and better job opportunities. There was a custody agreement filed 15 yrs ago, and hasnt been revisited since. He pays nothing and doesnt contribute for many years now. What steps do i need to take to make this happen? We are looking to relocate in july of 2018
A: Unless the court order says otherwise, every party in a custody case has to give at least 30 days' written notice to the court and the other parties of any intent to move. The other parent can then bring suit in court to challenge the move if they wish. Talk to a local family law attorney to review your current order and the history of the case to see if this is a good idea.
