Re: Moving child out of state
The custodial parent is normally required to give at least 30 days advanced notice of any plans to make such a move to the noncustodial parent as well as to the court.
The noncustodial parent then has the option of requesting a hearing on the matter to contest it and to demonstrate to the court that the proposed move would not be in the subject child's best interests.
