Ohio Law - What If A Spouse Wants To Move Away?

If the residential parent intends to move, even to the next block, the parent must notify the court, and the court may reconsider the visitation schedule.

The court will continue to consider the best interests of the child in light of the proposed move.

Section 3109.051(G).

Cases:

Masters (1994) 630 NE2d 665 (In this case, the couple married three months before the birth of a child, and they divorced two years later. The mother remarried, and she petitioned the court to allow her to move to a town in Tennessee. Tennessee was where her new husband's family lived. Also, she worked with Pearl Vision Express, and she expected to be able to get a management job with that company in the town to which she was moving (although no job had yet been offered). The husband asked the court for custody of the child. Other than the proposed move, there were no changes of circumstance that would justify modifying custody. The court did not actually discuss the merits of the case. Rather, it said that it could not decide the case until the mother and child had actually moved.)
