"I heard there can be an initial fee paid to a non moving parent when relocating a child. It is suppose to be a way of sort of paying for lost time I guess. What is that actually called?"

I am not sure exactly what you may be referring to. My guess is that the parent planning to move with the child may offer to pay the other parent for the costs of the child's travel thereby ensuring that the visitation with the non-moving parent will be uninterrupted.
