If my fiancee wants to move to the city where I live but she is the primary custodial parent of her son, what does she have to do regarding notification to her ex-husband?
I’m stable in my job and could support her and her son if need be. However, she wants to work and will have to get a new job once she’s here. She has primary placement, but they share joint custody. We currently live 80 miles apart and if she’s able to move here, we’ll still be in the same state as her ex-husband. What are her legal obligations to let her ex-husband know of her plans? We can afford an attorney but we’re wondering if we just need an attorney to draft a letter.

Wisconsin has a relocation statute. Understand that her custody agreement will govern in the first instance. But here is the statute. I would definitely have a lawyer look at their divorce paperwork and draft the letter. Good luck to you..
