Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Re: X wife to move child out of state against father wishes

If the divorce was handled in Indiana, she must notify the court AND you in writing 30 days before the move.

Then you will have an opportunity to ask the court to have a hearing on the issue, where she will get an opportunity to explain why it's in the child's best interests to move, and you will get an opportunity to explain why it is not.

If she moves without proper notice, you might be able to successfully petition the court for custody -- or for mom to be on the hook for paying the travel expenses, since she's the one who chose to move without court permission.

Hope this helps!
