I assume you are domiciliary parent. You have to notify and get permission from your ex if you are intending to move more than 150 miles away from where you are now living, if the move is within Louisiana or if the move is to another State, no matter the distance. Go online and read all of 9:355.1, 355.2 through 355.17 and 9:356. It lays out what you need to do to get the permission of the ex, or how you file with the court to ask the Judge to allow you to take the child to another State or further than 150 miles away. Read 9:355.12 to learn the factors to consider in a contested relocation.
