QUESTION

How can a parent move with joint custody?

Asked on May 22nd, 2012 on Child Custody - Oregon
More details to this question:
My ex husband and I have 4 children. We live in a small town with one hospital. Im wanting to move about 75 miles away where there is 2 hospitals and many Dr offices. Anyway we have joint custody of all four, but he refuses to let me move with our children. His reason while we discuss this is a control issue because he wants me back. While talking to a mediator he admits to half being control and the other he dont want to drive to meet half way to get our kids every other weekend. How am I able to move so I can further my career and have my own life without giving up our children to him so I can do this?

You need to be able to prove to the judge that your intended move is the best thing for your children. You will need to research jobs, schools, and houses before moving. Also, you will need to show that the move won't substantially interfere in their father's relationship with the children. These are always difficult cases so you have to be prepared in advance.
