I have joint custody - me with primary and my husband has every other weekend. Since we moved out in June, 2006, my husband has only seen his son about 5 times. The last time he saw his son was in February so my son could get his report card that was mailed to him. I need to move out of state as I cannot afford to live here anymore. My husband says he won't let me. My attorney wants another $1,500 retainer to file a " motion to move" with the court so I can prove that I cannot afford to live here and therefore get a court order for me to move. I do not have the money to do this so wondering what other options I have. If it possible to do this on my own and how do I go about doing that? My second question is if my husband decided to grant my move, do I stll have to go through the courts to get a court order or can I just have my husband sign a statement and have it notorized that he approved my move?
