....can your ex still take you to court and say you cant move. Especially after you have given him a 30 day written note? And if no does he have the right to state where the meeting place is at or is it always the half way mark nomatter the state?

You can always petition the courts for permission under very extenuating circumstances with aplan for altered visits for dad,like more time in the summer or holidays. You dont always need dads permission,although it would be nice but theres always an alternative way. Good luck and Happy Holidays

You have to get your ex's & the courts permission to move. Regardless if your new husband is in the military or not. Regardless of your notice, he can still file to make you stay, or give up custody of the children to him and you can leave.
When it comes to visitation when you move, that is something the two of you work out - he will have the advantage as you are the one moving. You may have to pay all expenses related to travel.

He could just go to court and ask for custody since he is staying in one place and the military requires alot of relocation for different assignments.
Why do you have to move anyway?? Can't your new spouse get stationed close to where you are currently living?
This is very wrong.... your kids need you and their dad. To just move them away when he is involved is just being cruel to your children. They are your first priority, not your new spouse or his job.
If you ex is smart he will fight you tooth and nail on this one and not just up and let you take off with his kids.

I'll offer an opinion, if both parents are "good" parents, meaning one isnt worthless, then I think the child should get to stay with the parent who is NOT moving. You are doing something for you, it isnt for your child and it certainly doesnt consider your former spouse and how he may feel. Do what is right for the child rather than being selfish. As a single parent with custody, I would never move far from my ex or family even if it would make me happier, when you have a child, it becomes about them NOT you.

YES....your ex can absolutely keep you from moving...the courts may say if you move, your child will have to stay with him. I went through something similar and you are stuck. Sorry..talk to a lawyer. Your new relationship doesn't even come into play... UNLESS, your ex agrees to let you move.

oh yeah, my ex did! and OMG did it cause financial hell for me. He constantly fought for sole custody (I was primary custodial parent with joint legal, we didn't have joint custody).
However, if he's being a good dad and wants to see his kid(s), he has every right to that, and your moving away because it pleases you, there has to be a compromise. Check with an attorney and come up with one.

Depends on the state, the judge and the circumstances.
Just be fair.
