Q: Is it required to let the other parent know of change of residence within 60 or 90 days before move?

What if I need to move before 60 days? Is that not allowed? I just found out I have to move and it needs to be done before that amount of time. I did not see any statement on papers Indicating when I have to let the other parent know.

A: If there is not a geographical restriction in your court order, preventing you from changing the primary residence of the child without further orders from the court or without the other parent's consent, then typically court orders require the primary parent to notify the other parent of a change in the child's address at least 90 days prior to a change, IF KNOWN at that time. If the new address is not known, then the primary parent is required to notify the other parent of the new address no later than 5 days after the address change.

Typically, this requirement is listed in the "Required Notices" section of your court order. You should read your court order carefully.

I hope this information helps. Good luck to you!
