 I want to move out of the state of California. I have a son with my ex and when I told him I was moving, he refused to agree, even though I told him I would allow him visits on school vacations. He has 50% visitation and I have physical custody. California has become so expensive over the years and I am having a hard time making ends meet, I would like to move to Tennessee where my mother and my brother and his wife lives. My ex is a good father and my son loves him very much and of course I would allow him visits on most school vacations (if he pays for the travel). I don't have a new job yet where I am moving, but I will stay either with my mother or brother until I can find one, which I doubt will take very long. The cost of living is so much lower there and I feel I can provide so much more for my son there, plus he will be closer to his grandmother and uncle. I have been at my present job here in Sacramento for 9 years and I am burned out on it, I feel I need a change. I am sure a judge would not go against a custodial parents wishes in a matter like this, just wanted a second opinion. Thanks! |

| What you will normally have to do, is send your X a certified letter in advance (normally 45 days) to let him know you are moving, where you are moving and what date you are moving. He then (if he knows the law) has a certain amount of time to contest the move. Then you will be in court. Then a judge will decide if you can move or not. Normally, if you are allowed to move; the moving parent will be responsible for travel costs regarding visitation, if not all half. So be prepared for that. You also need to be prepared to allow extended visitation to accommodate the limited visitation on your x's behalf. If you can work out a schedule with him before hand and get it resolved that is best, but if he contests the move then it will be a process with the courts.
