Indiana Relocation Code Compliance

Summary

Your exs relocation and non-compliance with the Indiana Relocation Code may impact your custody rights. Document all interactions and consider consulting a family law attorney to assess your situation. Filing a petition for temporary sole custody could be an option if his actions interfere with your parenting time. Changes in custody or visitation require court approval, and having a second residence closer does not automatically grant more parenting time.

Full Conversation

I sent my ex this message : I wanted to touch base regarding this change in residence. Assuming you complied with the * Indiana Relocation Code and I should be receiving something from the court showing you gave them and 90day notice and I should be expecting a notice to file a response. Would appreciate if you could confirm that for me
Hi Renee! It seems like you're concerned about whether your ex has complied with the Indiana Relocation Code. Generally, the * Indiana Relocation Code requires:
- *-day notice to the other parent.
- Court notification and approval for relocation.
- Opportunity for the other parent to file an objection.
Have you received any official notice yet from the court?
He responded by saying this: No, there was no need to file anything. My new address in Fishers is * yards from my previous address so nothing to review. My address in FW is a secondary residence for my use closer to my children which is an improved experience for them.
Renee, your ex might still need to comply with the Indiana Relocation Code if the move impacts custody or visitation. Here's what you can do:
- Verify the exact distance and whether it significantly impacts custody or visitation.
- Consult a family law attorney to review the specifics of your case.
Would you like more information on how to proceed?
I then asked : Please clarify what you mean by an improved experience because what you are describing is your intent to interfere with my parenting time. Would that be correct assumption?

He has continued to refuse to communicate, makes contradictory statements regarding his intentions , has entered my residence twice without permission, has explicitly said he does not have to speak to me and continues to show deliberate non-compliance.

Does he have the right to tell me that it is an “improved experience “. That is a unilateral opinion and does not necessarily represent what is best, especially given the inability to have a positive coparent relationship

- Document all communication and actions that seem to interfere with your custody rights.
- File a petition for temporary sole custody if you believe his actions harm your child's best interests.

Of course it feels threatening and an invasion on my parenting time. Given he has lived 1hr45mins away for 3years and refuses to explain what he means by improved experiences. I have been informed by an attorney that it takes a court order to change a court order and that he is not entitled anything additional than what is set forth in Indiana Parenting Guidelines
Case Rating: *.

Will he automatically be awarded more parenting time solely based off of having a second residence closer even though he did not inform the court of his intentions
Renee, having a second residence closer does not automatically grant him more parenting time. He must follow the Indiana Relocation Code, and any changes in custody or visitation require court approval. It’s important to document everything and consult a family law attorney to protect your rights.
