Many clients contact me asking how the court orders involved in a custody case impact their right to move out of the county or out of the state, whether it is for a new job, being closer to family, or due to the high cost of living in San Diego. While a divorce is pending, automatic orders are in place prohibiting a parent from traveling with the children out of the state, let alone moving with them. Even after a divorce or paternity case is finalized, most orders prohibit a parent from moving the children outside the County of San Diego without a court order or agreement with the other parent. So how do you go about being able to move?
The move away process is rather complicated in California, and is dependent upon the previous orders in the case. Obviously, the court will take special consideration in move-away cases since...
