I don’t live near my child’s other parent. Who pays to transport the child for visits?

If you and your child’s other parent live far away from each other, you can ask the court to decide how to split the travel costs. To make the decision, the court will look at each parent’s relative circumstances. The court will also consider which parent moved and what his/her reason for moving was.1
