Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Joint custody of highschool student

I agree with Matt. She can move w/o anyone's permission, including yours. The sole concern with high school is related to the fact that not every child turns 18 the month they graduate, so this law was to address the situation where the child is an adult (over 17) and still living with a parent for the purpose of attending high school.

Re: Joint custody of highschool student

When she turns 18, SHE can move wherever she wants. Does not matter if she has or has not finished HS.

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

The facts that you have provided are not clear enough and/or complete enough to provide a definitive answer to you inquiry. That notwithstanding,

Generally, either party may relocated with a minor child, if the judgment

does not prohibit or limit same, or by mutual agreement with the other party. Otherwise, one of the parties will need to go to court to get an

order either allowing the relocation or preventing it. Normally, a county to county

move within CA is pretty difficult to prevent. You probably would

have to so detriment to the child.
