Can my ex stop me from moving away?
Would a Court stop you and what exactly are your rights? The short and simple answer is your Ex-Partner cannot stop you moving away. The Courts recognise and will often sympathise with the Parent that will now have to live away from their child but will also realise that this is a practicality.
Who has custody if no court order?
If there is no custody order, both parents have an equal right to custody, and either can lawfully take physical possession of the child at any time. However, taking the child away without the other parent's consent can be held against you in court if that action was not reasonable.
How does custody work when parents live in different cities?
In other words, parents that live in neighboring states can sometimes share legal custody of a child. Typically, when parents live far away from one another, one parent will have primary custody of a child during the school year, and the other parent will receive substantial visitation in the summer.
