My question involves a child custody case from the State of: VA
The non-custodial parent will be relocating to Florida. The custodial parent's lawyer faxed a letter to the the non custodial parent's previous lawyer asking for a modification to include the following: the custodial parent is requesting full legal custody. They currently have legal custody, $1000 in attorney fees, for custodial parent to pay all travel expenses and for the visitation to change from every other weekend, every other spring break, 3 weeks in summer, shared christmat to every spring break and 3 weeks in summer. The lawyer is stating that becuase it was the non custodial parent's choice to move, he should pay the attorney fee and should relinquish his joint legal custody rights. the non custodial parent agrees to paying all travel expneses but does not agree to paying thing attorney fees and does not agree to relinquishing his joint custody rights and would like to leave the visitation with regards to every other spring break, 3 weeks in summer and split christmas/winter vacation as is.
The question is : Does the non custodial parent have to relinquish his legal joint custody right because he's leaving the state? he's a very much involved parent and exercises his visitation rights. Also, would it be wise to hire a lawyer. The noncustodial parent doesn't have the financial means to do so.
