opposing party. The notice must include the address of the intended new residence if available.
2. Pursuant to Court Order, dated 10/21/2008, Mother and Dedric Dukes ("Father") share
legal custody of their three children: Shakwan Dukes (DOB 7/27/1994), Tre Dukes (DOB

confrontations will occur.
11. Mother has sought concurrence in this motion from Father's attorney. Concurrence
was not obtained.
12. The Honorable Judge Hess has previously ruled in this matter.
WHEREFORE, Mother requests that the court grant her leave to provide notice of her
intent to relocate to Father without providing the address of her new intended residence.
