Question

My son's mother is being forced to move and she is taking our son with her. I have no objection to the move itself, but she will now be well outside of the county in which we reside. In addition, she is supposed to give me at least sixty days notice, but she told me two weeks ago they will be moving at the end of the year.

Should I notify the courts of the impending move and will this affect the amount of support I pay?



Answer

Mother is being forced to move. There is indication how much this move adds to your travel for visitation, or how it will interfere with you visitation. It is unlikely to change your child support obligation. You and mother should work together on the issue of visitation and child support. Then write down the agreement as a stipulation and send it to court to be made a court order. You should not go to court unless it is necessary. The court likes it when parents work together to solve visitation problems.



Answer

Your ex's relocation to another area with your child can be deeply significant and change a number of things including your parenting time share. If your ex is moving out of state, the new jurisdiction where the child establishes residency can control your case by taking command over parenting issues and support. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
