Relocation and visitation

The court order remains in effect, and can be enforced in any state. Her visitation rights would remain in effect even if you move. If moving will affect her visitation rights, then you may need to address this issue before moving.

I am the custodial parent of my child and wish to relocate for employment. Their mother’s rights were terminated 6 years ago because she was an addict and then she died shortly afterward. There is a court order allowing her mother (their Grandma) visitation. what happens to the court order if we move and will it ever go away? Will she come after me in another state and what will happen if I decide to move back to this state?
