If you are talking about a temporary trip, then the answer would be yes, unless there was some sort of specific prohibition against it in an existing Parenting Plan.

If you are talking about a permanent move, it may be allowed, if it is less than 50 miles.

Why not? Unless a court has entered an Order restricting either parents time-sharing, which addressed out of State travel, there is no restriction.

If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.

The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

Call me to discuss the specifics of your case. I will give you a realistic idea as to the likely cost (fees and expenses). Then if you want, we can schedule a no-obligation office consultation.

Please do not send text messages.

Sincerely, Elliot Goldstein
