Annotate Legal Alabama Visitation Forms For Free

Generally, a custodial parent (the parent with primary physical custody) has the right to relocate with the child out of state. But this right isn't absolute and in certain cases a court may prevent one parent from relocating to protect a child.

There is no age at which the child can legally refuse visitation until they are no longer a minor. However, if your child has valid reasons for wanting to avoid visitation, such as if visitation is not in the child's best interest, it may be possible to have the court-ordered visitation agreement modified.

It depends on how far from your ex-husband the move will take you. If you want to move out of state, he can object to you moving with the child - even if you just move a short distance. If the move is going to take you more than 60 miles from him, he can object to you moving with the child.

Providing A Notice of Relocation When one parent desires to move sixty miles or more from another parent, the parent who is moving must provide notice to the other parent within forty-five days of the move or ten days after learning of the move if later.

For children who have been in care 12 of the last 22 months, a TPR petition must be filed unless there is a compelling reason not to do so (refer to Permanency Planning Policies And Procedures). For children who have been abandoned for 4 months, a TPR petition must be filed within 14 calendar days.

In the 2-2-5-5 schedule, the child has two days with one parent, two days with the other, then five days with one, five days with the other. An older child may spend one week with one parent, then the next week with the other. The exchange often happens at the end of the school week.
