Custody Move Notification Requirements

Summary

California law requires parents with custody to notify the other parent and the court 45 days before moving. If a custody hearing is already scheduled, the move can be addressed there. Keep records of custody exchanges and communicate clearly with the other parent. If the other parent moves without notifying you, continue following the existing custody order and document all exchanges. If concerned about the childrens safety, document evidence and consider filing for an emergency custody order or restraining order.

If I already have a custody hearing coming up do I need to make a hearing especially for the move
You might not need a separate hearing if your upcoming custody hearing can address the move. It would be best to inform the court about your intention to move and see if it can be included in the existing hearing. Have you already notified the other parent about your move?
How should I handle the custody if she hasn't filed that paperwork yet and the customer exchanges happened before the court date
If she hasn't filed the paperwork and exchanges happened before the court date, it's important to keep a record of all exchanges. You should:
- Document each exchange: date, time, and location.
- Communicate clearly with the other parent about the move.
- Bring all records and documentation to the upcoming custody hearing.

What should I do if we have a custody order but the mother has moved to a different County and the court date happens later on but the custody is still happening every week
Case Rating: *
You should continue following the existing custody order until the court date. Keep detailed records of all custody exchanges and maintain clear communication with the other parent. Bringing this documentation to the court can help your case.
Have you documented each exchange and notified the court about the move?
But what if I believe she's bringing the kids around somebody they're not supposed to be around
Case Rating: *
If you believe the other parent is exposing your children to someone they shouldn't be around, you can take several steps:
- Document any evidence or instances of this behavior.
- File a request for an emergency custody order or modification with the court.
- Consider obtaining a restraining order if you believe your children's safety is in danger.
