1 Answer from Attorneys
Your son should file a motion to modify visitation in the event the mother seeks to move, since that would essentially destroy the joint custody arrangement. Initially he should try to get her to agree to a revised schedule which allows her to have weekends and holidays and perhaps some extended time in the summer. If the child is of school age this would avoid significant disruption in their life. If she won't work it out then he'll have to go to court, but he would be wise in this event to hire an experienced family lawyer to assist him.
