Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Check your CO. Most of them
Check your CO. Most of them state very clearly how far a parent can move without having to get permission. Over all as long as she isn't trying to change the school district and is still holding up her end of transportation it might not be worth fighting over.
She moved she makes up the difference in travel.
It also depends on the state.
It also depends on the state. In my state, it's in state law that a parent cannot move a child out of a school district without providing written notice to the other parent. The second parent has so many days to object to the move. It's written into the state law, so it supercedes any parenting plan (I assume most parenting plans in the state - like my DH's - include the legal citation in sections about custodial parent moves.
