Legal Question in Family Law in California
What does a parent, with sole legal and physical custody in California, need to do to legally move about 35 miles within state?
My lawyer told me that I just need to notify the non-custodial parent, 45 days before moving, with a certified letter and if there is no motion filed in court after 45 days then I am free to move. Is this true or can the move still be contested in court after 45 days? Is there a reason I shouldn't just file a motion myself to get permission from the court to move instead of waiting to see if the non-custodial parent protests it?

We do not second guess people's own attorneys here. There are issues raised by that involving the State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct. We are only supposed to talk to represented parties about their case if they are inquiring about firing their attorney and hiring us. And just on a practical level we can't possibly give better advice than an attorney who knows all the details of the situation.
