Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I'm a Father of 2 with primary custody of both my children. I recently got a job about 300 miles away from my current home, but still within Texas. Our papers state that I have a geographical restriction, but only as long as their mother resides in one of the counties listed, and if at the time I wish to move she doesn't, the restriction is lifted. She no longer lives in any of the counties listed, so according to our agreement the restriction is lifted, and it already has an alternative visitation schedule built into our decree in the case that she lives 100 miles from the kids. My question is this, do I simply need to send her a notice in writing of our move, or do I need to see a judge? I don't believe I need a modification because it's already set out in our papers, but I want to make sure. Thanks!

Read your decree - I bet it states that you must notify the court and the mom in writing.

After you move and stay there 90 days, you might want to move the case to your new county.

Look on this website and on www.avvo.com for an attorney to help you.

Happy moving!
