Re: taking child out of state
Do you have share primary custody or is the joint custody just for legal custody? If you have shared primary, it will be difficult, if you don't the Court will probably grant it but you may certainly fight.

She has to get an Order from the Court if you object.
Re: taking child out of state
Thank you for your inquiry to my office.
If you have joint physical and legal custody with your ex; she would have to file a Motion with the Court for permission to move out of state; or obtain your written permission.
In considering a move out of state, the Court must find that there is an actual advantage that will enhance not only the parent but the child's livelihoods. The Court will balance these interests against the rights of the non-moving parent.
I would highly recommend that you retain an attorney to aid you in this case. If you would like to discuss your case further, contact my office at the number below.
