A: Do they have any sort of Parenting Plan through the court? If not, he needs to file a Petition in juvenile court to establish his rights. Once that has been established, he will have court ordered parenting time. Mom would have to notify your son under the Parental Relocation Statute if she wanted to move out of state or more than 50 miles from where she is now. However, that is only in effect AFTER a Parenting Plan has been established. He needs to consult with a good attorney that regularly practices in juvenile court to get that petition filed ASAP!
