Q: Hello, I’m needing assistance with how to go about moving my child out of state. The father is incarcerated
We have joint custody he is currently serving 6-7 yrs. I’m needing to move because I havre a better job opportunity and will like to be closer to family for support so I’m able to finish school
A: You need to send him a written letter or communication that you are moving and give him the address you will be moving to. This must be done 30 days in advance of the move. Given that he is in prison, it is unlikely he will mount a challenge to stop the child from moving. So, send him the notice and start packin.
