This depends on the current orders in place. The relocation statute states that if Father has joint legal decision-making or unsupervised parenting time, he must receive adequate notice of Mother's intention to relocate with the children. Mother must follow a procedure and serve Father with the intent to relocate. Once received, Father has 30 days to contest the relocation.

It depends on the type of custody that has been awarded. If the court has awarded joint custody, you must comply with the hold relocation statutes before you move. If the court awarded you sole custody, then you can move without complying with the child relocation statutes.
