Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

If it says in the divorce papers that you cannot take the child out of the state of MO without the others permission is there anything you can do if they say no? Do they have to provide a justifiable reason or can they just keep saying no out of spite. And what could be the consiquences of doing it anyway?

If you got a dissolution of your marriage,there is language stating what you need to do in order to relocate your child anywhere. You have to give certified mail notice to the other parent 60 days before you intend to move. In that notice you have to provide certain information. Then the other parent can file an objection with the court within 30 days of receiving the certified mail. If not objection is filed then you can move. If the other parent files an objection with the court, then you will respond to that objection requesting the court to allow you to relocate.
