What happens if one parent wants to move far away?

If you want to move more than 30 miles from the other parent, as a child-centered parent you need to have a darn good reason. The sad reality is that a judge is probably going to allow the move even if it’s farther—or even much farther—than 30 miles. That’s what a child-centered divorce agreement is often far more family-friendly than any litigated order.
