It basically depends on where your considering on putting the child, is it within the same school district? Has the custodial parent moved to another home which has a new school? There are rules within schools nowaday and having to get permission to keep them within the same school if you have moved.

The range is 10-15 years old, with most states allowing the child to choose around 12-14. In most cases, the child will have a private consultation with a state social worker, who tells the judge, or the judge actually meets with the child. The custodial parent will then be changed by the judge's order.

The father would have the option of filing an injunction, even after the move. Consulting a lawyer is definitely a good idea.

If the mother has a compelling reason to move, the request may be granted, however the onus would be on the mother to retain their joint custodial rights by maintaining visitation with their children and or taking the children back to the father's residence for his visitation rights (the courts won't make him go to you to get them if doing so would present a hardship) paying their portion of child support, etc. Either that or relinquish joint custody which would probably be the result if the father doesn't agree to the move.

∙ 11y agoThat depends on the custody and visitation arrangements set forth in the court orders. If the father has joint legal custody she needs to discuss the change in school with him. Generally, the mother could move a short distance without involving the court. However, a long distance move would require the consent of the court and a modification of the court orders. It would go easier if the non-custodial parent is willing to consent to the move.

If you have sole legal custody of minor children from a previous marriage if you died would your spouse get custody?
Spouse or not. Married or not. Your relationship to the ex is irrelelvent. The father of the children (or fathers) are on the top of a long list of "family" in relation to the children. Multiple fathers will split up the children. Create a living will so the kids can stay together with ONE father.
