How many miles for a move to cause a change to plan?

My ex and I have decided on joint physical custody of our son who is in daycare. I am planning on moving out of the San Francisco, about 20 miles north where it is a bit more affordable, but still considered part of the SF Bay Area. Can my ex contest this move or is there a threshold for miles that is permissable?

So you have actual 50/50 custody? Are you considered the residential parent? in any event, I doubt she could contest a 20 mile move.

If your orders aren't finalized yet then everything is still up for grabs so yes your ex could decide NOT to agree any longer to the joint physical custody if you are going to be moving. 20 miles isn't far, but it could really complicate things once your child starts school...particularly if rush hour traffic is going to be a factor.

Have you thought about how that will impact things once your son starts school - where he'll attend and how he'll get there?
