Relocation and custody of 17 year old

My job relocated from Sacramento to San Francisco (approx 100 miles). I have been commuting on the train (6-7 hrs day) for 9 mths. I have decided to move to SF. My 17 year old son asked to move with me (he will be 18 3/2/08) and his father refused to let him move with me. There is a 60/40 (me 60) custody in place now, however my son seldom spends the night with his father. How likely is it the ex-husband can enforce the custody agreement? Will I have to go to court for a decision?

Re: Relocation and custody of 17 year old

If he refuses to agree, then you will have to go to court for an order asking permission to relocate. Most likely you will get permission. I was just able to get permission for 2 of my clients to move to another state, and I'm about to leave for court to help another.
