I Need to Move with My Children

This toolkit tells you about moving with your children after divorce or separation. For general information about when you need the judge’s permission to move with your children and how to ask the judge to let you move, read the Articles. Read the Common Questions if you have a specific question. If you want to file a motion asking the judge to let you move with your children, use the Forms link to prepare your forms. The Checklist below has step-by-step instructions for asking the judge to let you move with your children. Go to Courts & Agencies for information about the court or agency that will handle your case.

You'll find links to legal aid offices and lawyer referral services under Find A Lawyer. If there is a Self-Help Center in your area you can get more help there. If you need something other than legal help, look in Community Services. If you need a fee waiver, an interpreter, a court to accommodate your disability, or more information about going to court, visit Going to Court.
