My fiance is the custodial parent and we are wanting to move 1 hr away to be closer to my family. will this be permited?

My fiance has always been the custodial parent. We are wanting to start having more kids and I have a larger and more supportive family than he does here where we currently live. I already have a job where we are wanting to relocate to. Is this move likely to be permitted by the courts? His ex does have visitation currently. - Is this your question? Add additional information

The terms of the parenting plan may dictate whether a move is allowable. It is likely not addressed so the real question will have to do with visitation and the interruption this move may present. The terms of the visitation may need to be modified to accommodate the increased dstance.

I am assuming the move is within the same state as there are specific rules one must follow if moving out of state.

There are forms that will help you get started; I have pasted a link below;

http://www.courts.wa.gov/forms/

At the very bottom left hand side of the page you will see a section called child relocation.
Those forms will give you an idea of what you will need to change the parenting plan if necessary.

Good Luck
