Aurora, IL asked in Divorce and Family Law for Illinois

Q: can my ex object my relocation even though did not state in our divorce decree

I did not follow the guidelines. So my lawyer file the petition of my relocation do the right way. But I offered to drive both ways to avoid him to commute. And the judge denied my relocation. I use to live in des plaines. I did not know the protocol. I did notified him verbally and email a month or less before I moved. He literally served me papers the day I move and day he has our three kids. There father is from Skokie. so I moved to morris from desplaines. Then stayed morris for a year. Then moved to Romeoville last Feb. And the relocation has been continuation for the past 2 1/2yrs and got denied. What are my options? Or next step? He has a family and one bedroom apartment just found out last court. And on his weekend my kids stays at his parents house. Is that fair?! He barely spend time his kids on his time.

A: I don't quite understand the facts of your situation, but if you moved the kids more than 25 miles, you needed to do it properly. It sounds like you did not follow the law. If that is the case, the judge was obligated to deny your relocation.
