Q: Can custodial parent move over 150 miles away in same state (north dakota)?
Also can they require the non-custodial parent to travel more than half the distance for their parenting time? Can the custodial parent deny weekday visits saying they can only do visits at a location closer to the custodial parent. Even if this language is not in the court order? The move was also not disclosed until after court documents were signed.
A: The court order contains all of the requirements. Everything else is just the other parent trying to pull a fast one. An order cannot require that a person never moves - but a person moving could, potentially, have other implications. Unfortunately, you will not get specific advice on this particular case for free because it would take an attorney time to actually read over the court order and go through it with you.
