Re: Custodial Parent Moving out of state
Parental relocation is governed by T.C.A. 36-6-108. A relocating parent must give 60 days written notice to the other parent prior to the move. The notice must state: your intention to relocate, where you are moving, the reasons you are moving, and notify the other parent that they may file a petition to oppose the move within 30 days. The way the court handles the situation depends on how much time each parent spends with the child. I would need more facts to determine which standard your specific case falls under.
