Can I stil have child custody and relocate?

Oklahoma has a "relocation statute" that states that neither parent can relocate over 75 miles from their current address without giving the other party and least 60 days written notice. Then the other parent has 30 days to object to the move. If the parent objects, you must have a trial before the judge and the judge decides whether the parent can move with the children or not. The moving parent must prove the move is in good faith and not just to disrupt the visitation of the children with the other parent. The burden then shifts to the objecting parent to prove that the move is not in the best interest of the children. Things the court will consider are the incomes available to both parents to pay for the visitation after the move and why the move is being requested, such as a much better job opportunity or education opportunity that cannot be had in Oklahoma. Moving to be closer to family is usually not a good enough reason for the court to approve the move. If the non-moving party does not object within the 30 days after receiving written notice, then you can move without going to court. You will need to offer and try to agree on a new visitation schedule at that time.
