Re: child custody and moving out of state
The short answer is that you need to go to court to get an order prohibiting the child from moving out of Virginia. The judge will have to decide whether or not there is a good reason for the child to leave the state.
The long answer depends on where you are in the process, if you're in a court already, and which court you are in or not in.
Under the circumstances, you would do well to consult an attorney. If you don't have one, you should consider getting one.
