The custodial parent is subject to being forced to stay within a certain area with the child so that the noncustodial parent can access the child for visitation. (Whether or not that other parent even bothers to visit, they can still veto any move.) So why can the noncustodial parent decide to move to the other side of the country without consulting the custodial parent when that too affects the visitation with the child? Doesn't that seem terribly unfair to both the custodial parent (who is doing all of the work anyway) and to the child? Isn't it a double-standard?

You bring up a good point. The reason behind the policy is that if the custodial parent chooses to go the children will go too - it displaces the kids. but if the non-custodial parent goes, that doesn't affect the kids. Whenever you want to relocate just file with court. If the non-custodial parent moves away there should be nothing keeping you from doing so too. Sorry there is a double -standard there, but that is the policy behind the law.

This may just be the law of the state that you live in. With my divorce either one of us could live where ever we choose to but the custodial parent could not hinder communication or visits with the children. Was the arrangement that you are speaking of part of your custody. If there is a problem maybe you should go back to court and have some changes made. After all the noncustodial parent has a life and it does not revolve around the choices of where the custodial parent lives.

If the non custodial parent moves away the custodial one doesn't have to relocate because of that. It is up to them to arrange the visitation and I wouldn't go outside of what was set by the court. If they are supposed to see the child every weekend, you allow that weekend to be open- if they want to come get the kids then so be it. Or you can go back to court to redo the order.
The non custodial can move wherever they want to- I would be glad they moved especially if they never come to see the child. If the visits become more and more infrequent then you can petition the court to modify the order as well.
Dont show the child that the NC bothers you, just hold up your end of the order. That's all you need to do.

If the noncustodial parent moves, it's up to him to supply transportation to and from for visitation. If he has veto power over where you live, you had a bad lawyer, I'm sorry to say. I've never heard of restrictions like that.
You need to go back to court and get that clarified.

Because that they do not want to make it so inconvient for the child to see the known custodial parent which would be beat up becaiue that child probably like spending time with absent parent.

You can more than likely have this turned around......such as, if you have documented that he rarely came by to see the kids, and you can do this by documenting all the times he did....like if he only showed up once a month....you write it on a calendar....and save the calendar......if he called write it down......this will either show his lack of attention to the kids or that he did show up all the time when he was to see the kids......now you document that he move across country......make apt to see your divorce attorney, with all this documentation.....and she can take it b4 a judge, and have this turned around for you.....I don't seriously think that many judges will allow such....with him moving so far away......and then having a say as to whether you stay where you are.....See your lawyer.

It really is not right. You should take the parent to court b/c if they dont see the child anyway then you need to take away all the rights.
