===What happens if a guardian wants to move?===


If a guardian wants to move, with or without a child, and the move <span class="noglossary">will</span> have an impact on the child’s relationship with another guardian or someone who has contact with the child, the guardian must usually give 60 days’ notice of the move, in writing. The notice must say where the guardian plans on moving to and when the guardian plans on moving.

Only other guardians can object when a guardian plans on moving. If a guardian objects, he or she has 30 days to go to court to get an order preventing the move. Remember that only a guardian can object to a proposed move! Someone who has contact can't prevent a guardian from moving.
