What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
My husband has two young children and has been divorced from their mother for a few years. Last year, their mother gave written notice sixty days prior to moving the children to Pennsylvania. In the divorce decree and parenting plan, she followed the rules perfectly. She and my husband have agreed to modify the visitation schedule. It was written up, signed and notorized by both parties. I called our local court system where the divorce documents are filed yesterday. I explained our situation and asked what needed to be done to make the changes part of the parenting plan. The lady informed me that unless the children's mother requested the judge's permission, she could not have moved the children out of the state. She obviously is in violation of some law and had no idea. Since she did not do that prior to moving last year, they will not accept any modifications to the visitation schedule. Neither party has a way to pay for an attorney and we don't really know what move to make next. Any advice?
