Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: What rights do a parent has with sole custody?

I'm assuming for the moment that you and your ex don't have an agreement which prohibits you from moving your child more than a certain distance from your current residence or your ex's, nor anything in the divorce decree that prevents you from doing so. That being the case, you can legally move to Texas, but you may have to renegotiate any visitation schedules that are in place to permit your ex to have as much visitation as possible under the new circumstances. You may also have to pay at least part of the cost of travel for your child back to the Maryland area for visitation. If you two can communicate it's best to try and work out an agreement rather than let the issue be decided by a judge.
