What to do if I have sole legal/physical custody and have just accepted a job offer in another state and need to relocate?
My current order only states that I must give 30 days notice. However, the current visitation of every other weekend would no longer work. What do I need to do? What steps do I have to take?

I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about your situation and serve and file with the court and the other parent your intent to relocate with the minor child to another state due to work reasons. From there you will see if the other parent contests the relocation.
