Form: Verified Notice of Intent to Relocate Pursuant to Indiana Code 31 -1 7-2.2

How to create a Verified Notice of Intent to Relocate? First you have to read Indiana Code 31 -1 7-2.2. That is true of just about everything that is filed with a court in a family law case.

IC 31-17-2.2-1(a) tells where the relocating individual must file a notice of the intent to move and to send a copy of the notice to any nonrelocating individual.

If a party (that is the parents) want a hearing, then IC 31-17-2.2-1(b) requires the party wanting a hearing to ask for one.

IC 31-17-2.2-3 sets out the information requirements of the Notice.

(2) provide the following information in the notice:
(A) The intended new residence, including the:
(i) address; and
(ii) mailing address of the relocating individual, if the mailing address is different than the address under item (i).

Which translates to something like this:

3. I have moved my principal address to 10616 Whatever St., Whatever City, Whatever State, Whatever Zip Code.

Then the statute speaks of telephone numbers:

(B) The home telephone number of the new residence.
(C) Any other applicable telephone number for the relocating individual.

Which translates to something like this:

4. I do not have a land line at my home address; or my landline number is ###-###-####.

5. My cell phone number is: ###-###-####.

Then the statute has:

(D) The date that the relocating individual intends to move.

Which translates to something like this:

6. I moved into my new residence on December 1, 2007.

Then there is from the statute:

7. The specific reason I moved to the above listed address is:

Then the statute requires a statement of what changes are needed:

8. I believe no revision to the parenting time schedule are required because of the
ages of the children.

The statute then requires two notices must be included:

(G) A statement that a parent must file an objection to the relocation of the child with the court not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice.
(H) A statement that a nonrelocating individual may file a petition to modify a custody order, parenting time order, grandparent visitation order, or child support order.

The following contain as good a notice as any other:
Sign it before a notary and file it with the court, serve a copy on the non-relocating party and that is it.
