Moving out of state

My sister moved from Maine to Oregon after her divorce and took her son with her but had to make arrangments for visitation with the father. If the father has visitation rights then you and he will have to come up with some kind of agreement that works for both of you.

I believe all states require you to notify the other party within 60-90 days of moving. And I mean moving from just the school district. Another state may require more time or same time frame, you need to check with your local court. He can make a motion to keep you here and that can drag out. For WA state there are 11 factors in considering the move. Just because you want to leave doesn't mean you can. I have seen once where they could leave no problem and it was granted...the other one they had a choice of leaving the children here and moving or just staying. If he agrees you can create a parenting plan and have it filed with the local courts. If he doesn't and you move he can file to have the children brought back to the state and contempt on you...
