Mother (Custodial) Wants to Move to Another State

[nordberg25]

What is the name of your state? Minnesota

I have read several archives on the site, and am getting the gist that I as the father can petition the court against the Mother leaving for Arizona if I choose.

There is no custody order whatsoever, I did sign the ROP at birth, I have my son 3 days a week since birth, (he is now 8). We were never married.

My question is - What specific form do I need to download or obtain from the courts to file this petition. Is it a custody form?

Thank you

I would file for joint custody with keeping the same visitation (but list it so it is specific) and add in the order a no move away clause you can limit the miles from current location or whatever. Like any move further than 50 miles by the CP requires written consent from the NCP. And any move over 50 miles by the NCP will void the exisiting visitation schedule and NCP will have standard EOW and summer/holiday visitation. That way you are covered.

B/C right now with no Court orders mom can go wherever she wants and doesn't even have to tell you really. Get to Court now.
