Q: Move Away Order

My wife and I have been married for a year I currently reside in Sacramento California and she lives down in Los Angeles she has a 3 year old son. Her and the kids father have a joint custody agreement where the mother has the son the majority of the time.

We have attempted to come to angreement before filing this in court and father refuses. Father does not pay any support I pay for expenses made in Los Angeles which cover (Rent,food, child care for my step son) father does not participate in school activities and decides to not take him the days he has the child.

I am employed in sacramento and have relocated effective 2016 to work for my company I have expenses here and in Los Angeles.

The father has one other son who he granted the mother full custody in return to not pay any child support he has not seen that child since birth.

He refuses to come to ana agreement outside of court and in mediations that have been held how can a move away order be granted?

A: What's your question? If Mom and the other parent cannot reach an agreement, then mom needs to apply to the court for a move-away order.
