What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My custody agreement say that my ex is to have my daughter every other weekend, we alternate holidays and every other week during the summer months. It also outlines pick ups and drop offs. During the school year, he is to pick up at daughter's school or my residence and we meet half way for pick ups. During summer, we meet half way for both.
We have always been able to stray from our agreement slightly in order to help each other out; temporarily changing meeting times or places, swapping weekends, etc. The court encouraged us to work together and we have been doing so.
This agreement was put in place over a year ago, and I lived in a different county and city. I lost my house to foreclosure last August and had to move. My daughter and I moved about 25-30 miles south of my previous residence. I informed my ex of the need for the move in a phone conversation, we discussed the school and I have now lived in that county for over a year with no further discussion from him. Visitation has remained consistent and regular, with even slightly more time given to him than ordered.
My ex is now threatening to take me back to court because I did not fill out a "move-away order". I have since googled it, discovered I probably should have filled it out. I did not intentionally avoid it, I didn't know it existed. I assumed that notifying him would be enough. Well, now I'm not sure what to do. Should I complete one at this stage in the game? Is this order really a big deal for such a small move or does it apply to out of state or country moves?
