Q: Can I move LESS than 50mi, but out of county. MSA says I can’t move out of the county. Nothing for my son/ex changes.
I have agreed to take on all of the burden of transportation and commute so that my ex’s parenting time and my sons school/doctors/sports dont change. He still refuses to give consent. Our MSA is 11+ years old our two oldest are over 18, there is a line that says I can’t leave the county... but there are other lines in the MSA that we don’t follow anymore either. Can he hold me in contempt of court if I move without his “consent”?
A: Although he may try to take you to court, you can move wherever you want as long as your remaining child continues at the same school and you do the necessary transportation. Restrictions on moving (like your county provision) are generally not enforced unless they affect the child in a negative way.
