WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS IF YOU MOVE OUT OF STATE WITH THE CHILD(REN)?

You must provide notice of relocation, and your ex can object to the move. If your ex does not object in time, you will be allowed to move. You should provide notice of your intended move at your earliest opportunity. If your ex requests a hearing, the Court will decide whether the proposed move is being made in good faith, or whether it is an attempt to deprive your ex of visitation rights with the child(ren).

The notice of relocation must include specific information, and many notices do not comply with state law. Your Decree of Paternity or Divorce may include the items required in the notice. The Oklahoma law on Relocation is found at 43 O.S. 112.3. Contact us to for help to ensure that you are providing your ex with the notice required by Oklahoma law.

If you do move to a new state, your Divorce or Paternity Decree is enforceable under the full faith and credit provisions of the United States Constitution. Your Decree must be registered in the new state for enforcement. Each state has a process, and you need to contact an attorney in the new state for assistance. There are many issues involved in transferring the Decree to another state if the Decree needs to be modified, so please contact us for advice in this area.


WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS IF YOUR EX ATTEMPTS TO MOVE OUT OF STATE WITH THE CHILD(REN)?


If you have received notice that your ex intends to relocate and you wish to object to the move, you should object at your earliest opportunity! You have the right to have a hearing. The Court will decide whether the proposed move is being made in good faith, or whether it is an attempt to deprive you of your visitation rights with the child(ren).

The notice of relocation must include specific information, and many of these notices do not comply with state law. Your Decree of Paternity or Divorce may include the items required in the notice. The Oklahoma law on Relocation is found at 43 O.S. 112.3. If you do not object in time, your ex will be permitted to move. If your ex has already moved without giving the notice required by Oklahoma law, you may be able to ask the Judge to order her to return the child(ren) immediately.
