Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Moving - child visitation question
My wife�s EX has visitation rights only and she has full custody. We live in VA, but want to move to Colorado due to job offers and have to move quickly. She was divorced in NC (where the paper work on custody was done). He hasn't elected to see his daughter in 3 years; he didn�t even call her on her birthday a few weeks back. She�s 14 and doesn't want anything to do with him. Since he�s not talking to us or her, do we have to make the effort to tell him we're moving or just let him find out when he does, again it�s close to 4 years since he bothered seeing her. And if we should tell him what�s the worst that can happen if we don�t.

Re: Moving - child visitation question
Your wife will need to comply with whatever the N. Carolina custody/visitation orders specify in regard to requiring her to give advance notice to her former husband as well as the court as to this kind of proposed move.
