For us CP to be able to move without all the drama that BD's cause and rear their ugly heads only when it benefits them. I have found that many (not all) have little real parenting interaction with children even during own parenting time, but the minute something happens they don't like they are all too willing to get involved then. I am pretty much where you are only he is a resident. I followed the Court Order in providing dad with my intent of taking our daughter out of state. My order stipulates 3 days advance. Dad has an attorney and I sent my notification to his attorney. That is who he pays. I'll be damned if dad didn't come back many months later stating that I took our daughter out of state without notification. The order doesn't stipulate how the notification has to be given. Nothing came out of it. It was dad grasping at straws. If I were to relocate my order does stipulate 30 or 60 days. Sorry, I don't have it in front of me. Here is the thing about revised statuates. They are appear to be guidelines. If everyone followed what they should be doing based on how they were written and their intent then they would be a lot less stress in the world. But like Court orders everything appears to be up for interpretation. Unfortunately not everyone's interpretation is the same. Would be nice if it were. I get trying to avoid the drama. The drama is much worse after the fact. Let dad know. Give him 30 days. And expect him to react the last day of. Keep in mind though that should he pursue the issue, you may find yourself in Court explaining a plausible reason as to why you are moving regardless of whether or not he lives in the area of your current residence. There may be a shift in his visitation. It sucks I know.
