You do not indicate what state you are located in, but in the State of New York the courts have relatively recently allowed for a more lenient view of the custodial parent moving out of state for personal or material improvement in the family’s living standard. Until that time, the courts were very strict and rarely allowed a custodial parent to take the children out of state where the remaining parent would have difficulty seeing the children on a regular basis.
Today, however, each case will be investigated separately by the courts, and if the judge feels the move is in the “best interest of the children”, the judge may permit such move.
Good luck!
