How does custody work if one parent moves out of state?
If you or the other parent currently have joint custody, but one of you must move out of state, custody generally goes to whichever parent stays in the state. The other parent can submit a separate one at the same time you do. A mediator can work with both of you to create one.

Unless otherwise agreed between the parents, the non-custodial parent shall provide transportation for the child at the start of the scheduled parenting time and the custodial parent shall provide transportation for the child at the end of the scheduled parenting time.
