This bill clarifies the process for when a custodial parent wants to move a child to a different location by requiring the parent to notify the other parent and giving that parent 30 days to request a court hearing. If the non-relocating parent doesn't request a hearing within 30 days, the move is automatically allowed; if they do object, the court will decide based on what's best for the child.
