FAQ
Can a parent move a child out of state Washington State?
A custodial parent intending to move out of the state with the child must comply with strict rules outlined in Washington law. This includes providing 60 days’ notice to the noncustodial parent, who has 30 days to object to the relocation. If the noncustodial parent does not object, the courts will typically allow the child relocation.
Can I relocate with my child without notice if there's no parenting plan?
If you and your ex have no parenting plan in place, then Washington laws regarding child relocation do not apply, but you are still required to provide appropriate notice to the other parent. Failing to do so can negatively impact any future custody determinations. It is advisable to consult a family law attorney before making any plans to relocate with your child.
What if the other parent doesn't agree to the relocation?
If a non-custodial parent objects to the relocation, the court can forbid the parent from moving the child out of the school district. Overcoming a presumption in favor of the move can be difficult, but not impossible. The court will weigh various factors, including the child’s relationship with each parent, prior agreements, disruptions to contact, history of violence, the child’s age and development, alternatives to relocation, quality of life, and financial/logistical implications. Contingent plans made by the parents in the event of relocation being denied are not considered by the court.
