How hard is it to move out of state with your child after a divorce?

[mom_2scotty]

I live in NJ and I just recently went through a divorce and as in most cases we have joint custody and my son lives with me. My problem is that my son has a disability and has to be seen by his dr's in Cincinnati Oh every 3 months. Since the divorce I can no longer afford to do this (I live in NJ) and my ex is already saying that he can't afford it neither and can't even afford to pay for the medical bills for his primary dr here in NJ. He doesn't even carry the health ins on my son right now I do. Being that my sons disability is rare there are not that many dr's in this area that specialize in it. My son is 6 years old and the dr in Cincinnati has been his dr since he was 9 months old. I know it's my only choice to make the move closer to Cincinati to be able to afford the care my son needs but I know my ex is going to give me a hard time and believe me it's not because he would miss all the quality time with him because he really doesn't see him as much as he should anyway.

You have to make a request to the courts to get permission to move. You may have a good leg to stand on.
