Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

My shared parenting plan states that I cannot move my children out of county or contiguous county. My current husband has a home in Michigan (we live in OH on border of MI) in a county just next to a bordering county. We also, both work in MI and want to move to his home. How difficult would this be to move and change court order?

You would file a post decree motion to modify the shared parenting plan. As part of that modification you would discuss the relocation. Depending on your county, there may be a form called Notice of Intent to Relocate. This would also address the relocation. A hearing would be scheduled and you could probably do discovery (gather information) and before trial hits, reach an agreement. If your ex is agreeable then this wouldn't need to take that long. As always, its best to consult an attorney for assistance in this process. And its even more important if your spouse retains an attorney. Call around to get a variety of hourly rates and you should find an affordable and competent attorney.

If you wish to discuss your case further at no cost to you, feel free to contact me.
