Re: Relocating to AZ

Evidently not anymore. I do the lion's share of transport in my move but that wasn't because a judge "said so". Evidently a SPLIT of transport is becoming much more common.
To the original poster, it IS possible to move, you'll have to petition the court, if that is what your state requires you to do.
What the court will consider depends on your state. In my prior state (I relocated in February), having a fiance WAS ABSOLUTELY a factor considered in fact, statistically, it is THE number one reason for APPROVING a move request.
I strongly suggest you check your state law regarding move-aways. Just google it...
Here's a snippet from one site:
If the child is under age 18, or was born in Massachusetts, or has lived there five-years, in order for a parent to move the child out of the jurisdiction, the parent must get one of:
The child's consent, if the child "of suitable age to consent" (the meaning here is unclear); or
Both parents' consent; or
A court order allowing the child to be moved (this is the most frequent route).
No one can speak to your specific case, in your specific set of circumstances. Consult with a local attorney, most will do a 1 time consultation for free.
