Re: joint legeal custody
An answer to your question will require a review of the Court Order. Often the issue of travel is detailed in that document. If not, then we'd have to perform an analysis of how any change in location would impact the existing order relating to how much time each parent spends with the boy. Often, the distance would inhibit contact by one parent. In that event, it is often best to get court permission before making any change in location to another state.
It would be a good idea to meet with an attorney who can fully review all of the details and documents.
