[00:00:00]If the parent who has custody of a child in Alabama wants to relocate, there are very specific requirements that they must comply with. If the relocation is going to be more than 60 miles or across state lines, you have to send notice via certified mail, and you have to give very specific information about the proposed relocation. And the other parent has the right to file an objection with the court within 30 days of when they have received that notice.
