Moving

[Ceinwen]

I'm starting to consider moving south of where I am now (around 4 hours)... for work reasons.

My ex and I have joint custody (in Ontario, meaning we have joint legal, I have residential custody, he has access/visitation).

What would the process be to get permission? Should I go right through my lawyer? We have a legal separation agreement outlining custody, visitation, support - but we did that outside the judicial system, just through lawyers.

Right now he sees them every second weekend Friday night to Sunday night, we alternate holidays, and he as two (non-consecutive) weeks in the summer. Obviously, we'd have to arrange so that this schedule remained the same.

How hard do you think it would be to move? I'm trying to look up stuff specific to Ontario, but I'm not finding anything.

Interesssssting.

I'm not sure how much of a battle my ex can/will put up... Also, I'm trying to figure out what some of the arguments he could come up with are (i.e. transportation to and from) I guess I'll have to call my attorney and see what he says. Also, I'm wondering if this would leave way for him to have them for the whole summer or something (as compared to the two weeks he has now, kwim?)

Blargh.

also i think because YOU are the one moving, you might have to take on all the extra transportation cost.

oh this economy SUCKS!!!!

but considering the fact that the time remains the same, there really shouldnt be a problem, unless a 4 hour commute each way eats into his time.
