RELOCATING THE CHILDREN outside of 75 miles: Neither parent/legal custodian may relocate the child/ren outside of a 75 mile radius of the residence address of the residential parent (sole custody) or the other residential parent (shared parenting) at the time of the last parenting time order without first obtaining a modified parenting time order. The parents may submit a motion and an agreed entry, modifying parenting time, with a provision for allocation of transportation expenses, for adoption by the Court as an order. If the parents are unable to agree, the parent filing the Notice to Relocate must, prior to relocation, 1) file a motion asking the Court to modify the parenting time schedule, 2) set a hearing, and 3) obtain a modified parenting time order. The motion must include the new residence address unless not required under R.C. 3109.051(G)(2). Because relocating a child can be harmful to the parent/child relationship, the Court will not continue hearings to address a modification of the parenting schedule due to an imminent relocation except in extreme circumstances.
