A parent who has primary residence of a child may or may not be able to move away with the child. If the parent is simply changing residences – that is, they are not moving far enough to impact the other parent’s parenting time or decision-making responsibilities – they only need to advise the other parent of the change. However, if the proposed relocation will affect another person’s agreed-upon or court-ordered parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, or contact with the child, the parent must provide all affected parties with notice of their intentions. The affected parties may contest the move, requiring the court to decide whether the move is in the child’s best interests.
