QUESTION
If my ex-wife moves out-of-state should she pay for my visits? How?
Asked on Jun 01st, 2015 on Child Custody - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I have reasonable visitation for my 5-year old daughter and my wife told me that she was planning on moving to the west coast. Is it possible for her to pay for my plane tickets when I want to visit my daughter? We have been divorced for 1 year and I have not had any other problems with visitation before this.

You certainly can ask the court. To modify the divorce judgement to provide for a subsidy for you to spend time with your child Whether the court will agree or not is unknown. It would depend upon your earnings and your former wife's earnings, and probably other matters as well. Consult an experienced matrimonial lawyer. Good Luck.

If it her choice to move she will need the permission of the court to move your child to the west coast. If she is allowed to move some accommodation as to transportation costs is certainly in order.

First of all your former wife has to get permission to remove your child from the state. At that time you can attempt to agree on visitation times and costs.

Visitation-related travel expenses can be awarded as "additional child support" but the Court need not mandate them. When awarded, there are usually split evenly.
