I have access to my children and see them every second weekend. Whose responsibility is it to provide transportation? Does it change if the sole custodian moves out of the city proper into the country (but may technically still be within the amalagmated city limits). Is there a kilometre limit?

mine is in my court order that we are to share transportation as much as possible, i had a car and he didn't for a while then i didn't and he did, i gave him gas money while he had to do all the driving, i have since moved, and have a car again and he picks out daughter up on fridays and i pick her up on sundays..... if i had moved more then 5 mins farther away i would be driving my daughter to the town i moved from for him to get her and then do the whole drive myself to pick her up because im the one who moved, and im mostly nice to him and its really his dad who does the driving not him.
I dont know that there is really a rule as to who does the driving unless its in the court order maybe talk about it with your ex and see if you can work something out so you guys are sharing the responsibility...... the reason we have it set so i pick her up from his place and he picks her up from mine is more so motivation he wants her he has to come get her and if i want her i have to go get her so needless to say no ones ever late for pick up times. -
Most judges will say if you want to see your kids then do the driving. I have seen this happen many times.
In our case CP moved over 100km away and NCP still had to drive.Comment

Not really. Most judges will cause the parents to share in the driving. I have discussed this a few times with the family lawyers at my firm.Originally posted by anotherSTEPmother View Post
And should one parent move a distance where it becomes a burden on the other parent to transport the child for parenting time exchanges, it would be the moving parents responsibility to bear the brunt of the costs associated with their move.Comment

Usually the NCP picks up to begin their access, the CP picks up to end. That way you aren't relying on someone ELSE to be able to see your kids.
However, like Hammerdad said, if one parent moves far enough away that it would be a burden, then you can request that CS be reduced according to the increased access cost, OR that the person doing the move would bear the bulk of the transportation.
Of course, if one is moving away with the kids, one would also hope the other parent has a brain and contests it if they actually care to be involved with said children.Comment
