QUESTION
Can I move my child custody rights to another state?
Asked on Jun 12th, 2012 on Child Custody - Missouri
More details to this question:
I live in Missouri and have custody of my children. We have the typical parenting and visitation plan. My ex has decided to move almost 200 miles away and is demanding to keep the parenting/visitation plan as is. This will cause increased financial costs, interfere with my children's schedules, and will not be accommodated by my work schedule. The current plan has us each picking up the children when it is our parenting time. She does not want to offer and alternate parenting plan. Can I deny her every other weekend and 1 day a week visitation and force her to file a new parenting plan? I do not feel I should have to be the one to file a new plan since I am not the one moving. Thank you.

A parent with custody rights (including joint custody) cannot move without complying with Missouri's relocation statute. You should consult an attorney about this.
