More details to this question:
Hi, I am the father of a 1 year old daughter in which the mother has filed for child support. We had a child support review with attorney general. The only thing we didnt discuss was the transportation for visitation. Is it possible to get a court order saying that each parent will provide half of the transportation? The mother lives an hour and a half away. And it really cuts into visitation time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it is possible to obtain a court order stating who has to do the traveling. Most orders have this in it already. Do you have a possession order yet? It sounds like you have one but they forgot to put in the transportation. You can do a modified order that includes clauses regarding who picks up and who delivers. Please consult with a family lawyer in your area because, depending on the circumstance surrounding the timing of your ex's move, you might be able to obtain an Order that has her traveling both ways.
