Relocation Notice

[Quest]

Wisconsin

I searched the forums and could not find a specific answer to this question.

I am the CP and I have a friendly relationship with my ex-husband (NCP). WI requires a 60 day written notice of intent to relocate with minor children, which I filed in accordance with the laws. Subsequently, he has 15 days to contest the move, which he didn't do. My ex and I have discussed this in person and he agrees with the proposed move. He has also written a letter to me accepting the terms of the proposed move. So I'm assuming we're clear to move (please correct me if I'm wrong!)

I have a few questions about this and I'm hoping someone here may be able to offer some answers or insight.

1. Must I file his acceptance letter with the courts as well?

2. Must we file a new Stipulation & Order that outlines the new visitation schedule, even though it was mentioned in my Letter of Intent to Relocate? (or will the judge sign that letter as an order?)

3. Since we are amicable and have discussed everything to great extent, could we move a week or two earlier than the required 60 days that is mentioned in the filing procedure? My ex has already agreed to an earlier move date as well should we decide we would like to move earlier.

Sorry if these are naîve questions. Really appreciate any help! What is the name of your state?

not necessary- he indicated his acceptence to the courts by not filing a motion to prevent the move, but do keep the letter in your own files.

2. Must we file a new Stipulation & Order that outlines the new visitation schedule, even though it was mentioned in my Letter of Intent to Relocate? (or will the judge sign that letter as an order?)

if the move means the current visitation schedule will be impossible to continue, then yes it is a very good idea to have a new schedule ordered.

3. Since we are amicable and have discussed everything to great extent, could we move a week or two earlier than the required 60 days that is mentioned in the filing procedure? My ex has already agreed to an earlier move date as well should we decide we would like to move earlier.

there should not be a problem in moving earlier given that he has not objected, and you have written proof of his agreement to the move
