My husband and I have custody of his daughter. Her mother, who moved to Southern California (with their daughter until he got custody) left Northern california and hasn't come back except twice in two years to see her. One time, we paid for it and put her in our house. She has visitation and sees her on school holidays. We are interested in moving to Texas where my entire family is. There is nothing in his papers that says he can't move her, but the mom is balking. Any ideas?

The court order probably stipulates that you must mail "return receipt requested" the intention of the new move, so visitation/custody issues can be addressed.

I suggest you do this, and then the ball is in her court, to take you to court for modification.

Go to your post office and request the letter be mailed "return receipt requested", there will be a small fee.

When the other party receives the letter, they will have to sign an attached postal form, which has your name and address on it. The receipt will be sent back to you, with the signature that confirms they other party received your letter.

It simply gives the sender proof that the other person did receive the letter.

Oh, I know it as a "registered letter"...sounds like the same thing. Ok...So regarding to moving..this should be done so that the custodial parent knows that the non custodial parent received warning of the move and gave time to reply with working out a visitation agreement...Is that what this was leading to? Then if there is no responce..the custodial can move?

I just wanted to let you guys know where this landed. The mom petitioned the court for custody modicfication, BUT since the dad had FULL PHYSICAL cusotdy, she had to prove the move to be a detriment to the child. She didn't. Our attorney argued precedence for a case that just came down from the supreme court... Bialis. We won and are now able to move out of state without even having to prove WHY we wanted to go.
