Re: Taking Child out of state

She has a problem , relocating with a child is not at her option , there are specific steps that need to be followed .
Generally she would need to inform her ex of her intent to move 30 days before the move , he would then have to contest the move . If he does they go to court . The current case law on relocation is this :
A party seeking relocation must show that a change in circumstances has occurred since the last custody award and that relocation would be in the best interests of the child. The party requesting relocation bears the burden of proof on both issues. Parish v. Spaulding, 26 Va. App. 566, 496 S.E.2d 91 (1998).
