December 19, 2023If there is a custody order in place, can I move with my kids?
If you want to permanently move out of state or move within the same state to a distant location that would interfere with the other parent’s visitation schedule, or change the child’s school, for example, then you may have to get permission from the other parent or the judge depending upon the specifics of your custody situation. WomensLaw.org strongly suggests getting legal advice from an attorney first, even if the other parent agrees that you and the children can move.
