Re: Relocating
Virginia law requires that any party changing thier address give the other party and the court thirty days notice before they make such a move. This gives the other party time to file a motion to amend the prior order to ask the court to review how the relationships should proceed after the move.
This is a difficult issue between parents and children and the move must be in the best interest of the child. The Court should appoint a Guardian for the child and you should hire an experienced attorney.
Good luck.
Re: Relocating
By Virginia law, he has to give you 30 days notice of his plans to relocate. That gives you time to file an objection with the court here in Virginia.
