Q: In regards to the Washington State Child Relocation Act. Moving out of district.
My child goes to school in a different city from where they reside with me. This all is in the same county. They go to school in Bellingham, and we live out of district. Do I need to file my intent to relocate, as we are moving cities even though my child will continue to attend the same school. Or can I just inform the other parent via a reasonable means of communication since our child doesn’t go to school in the same district we live in?
50/50 custody, no special circumstances for either parent. Divorce is finalized.
A: Notification requirements for a relocation depend on your home’s location, not the children’s school district. If you’re moving from a home in one school district to a home in a different district, you’ll need to follow the relocation rules for changing districts.
