Legal Question in Family Law in California

grandparent right and moving

I was separated form x for 5 yrs; just divorced last month. Have 2 kids with him and 2 kids w/boyfriend of 4 yrs. X is what I call a 'father of convience'. I have sole physical and legal custudy(california)--he has visitation. He is never on time, never calls if going to be late or even show up even though order says he has to call. He lives w/his dad who I don't get along with. His dad has threatened to take me to court when I have plans and he can't have the kids. He also tries to dictate to me how to raise my kids and how to live my live and also does to boyfriend. If I was to move either out of state or out town do I have to let them know I'm moving or where I have moved to? There is nothing in orders stating that I have to report anything to him. Also getting remarried to give boyfriends name to kids to I need x's permission?

Re: grandparent right and moving

You would need to give notice that you want to move because you would be effecting the father's visitation rights. In order to change the name of a minor you must give notice to the other parent so the other parent has a right to be heard on the request.
