First, a injunction should be filed to stop the move, or have the parent ordered to return the child to the jurisdiction of the court. Further, a motion for contempt for interference in custody, and a motion to modify the custody order due to this violation.
Your ex does not need your permission to move unless specifically outlined in the original custody order or is incorporated into prevailing law in your state of residence, however, she/he can't unilaterally decide she/he is decreasing your visitation because of it. You can ask the Court for a modification of the visitation schedule if the one in place will no longer work. You could ask for a change in custody, but the move in itself is not a material change in circumstances adverse to the best interest of the child. If she/he is moving for economic reasons (better job) or better support network (family to help with the child), then her position becomes stronger, particularly if she/he receives little or no support from you. A move that does not improve the current situation of the children would be what you need for a change in custody. You may also want the Court to address transportation cost. Most judges would prefer that you both meet with the child somewhere in the middle; however, some are of the opinion that the party moving away should pay all of the additional transportation expense.

Another PerspectiveIt depends on how far away they have relocated and if it affects the non-custodial parent's rights. Relocation is a serious issue when it comes to child custody. You need to review your divorce decree, custody order, parenting plan and visitation order. Next you must consider the relocation laws in your state. Many states require the consent of the non-custodial parent if the move is to another state or if it affects visitation rights. Each state has different rules. If the non-custodial parent objects to the move the court will schedule a hearing and you need to be prepared with good reasons to justify the move. You cannot simply disregard current court orders and move on. The orders may need to be modified. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
If the relocation has affected the non-custodial parents rights they should file a motion for contempt if any court orders are being violated.
If there is a visitation order or if you were once married to whom you had a child with you can not move with out concent from a judge. You have to file the request to move and they have to notify the other parent of your request. The other parent has the right to fight you from being able to move and it is up to the judge if he or she chooses to fight you from moving. The judge will decide what is in the best interest for the child.
Generally when the parent of a minor child wishes to move out of state or to a location where the distance would affect the visitation and custodial rights of the other parent, that parent must seek the approval of the other parent and should obtain an order from the court granting them permission to relocate the child. The existing orders would need to be modified.
It would depend on the distance of the move and state laws.
Then they would lose all legal custody rights to the child.
If the process outlined in your custody agreement is not met then the non custodial parent may retain counsel and return to court to pursue a change of custody.
Not out of state and country, no. The court orders still have to work. You would need consent from both the other parent and the court.
no
yes
no, even if you have sole custody
With joint legal, one is still primary and thus has the authority to do so, but not without first discussing it with the other parent.
It is possible that a parent can solely take a decision for his or her child. However; It mainly depends on the agreement between parents.
Only with the permission of the other parent.
As long as they have the other parents permission i think.
If both parents have custody, you need the permission of both parents.
you have to be 14, in order to get it done without parents permission.
No, the non custodial parent cannot give permission to have a friend look after their child and non custodial means you have no custody rights so the permission should be granted by the parent that has custodial rights.AnswerIf you are the parent with legal custody you do not need the non-custodial parent's permission to allow your friend to watch your child. The parent who has legal custody has both the right and the authority to make that decision.
In the US, no, not unless the court gives you custody/guardianship and the only way they will do that against the parents wishes is if the parents are proven to be unfit.
If the parents don't have Joint Physical Custody, than no, but there is a 50 mile range limit.
