text: who provides transportation when custodial parent moves over 100 miles away? if a custodial parent moves the child over 100 miles away it is my understanding that they have to provide transportation to and from. if this is right in (michigan) where do i find this information to copy and print for my case? so many thanks for anyones help. depends on what your visitation papers say.  if you don't want to be the one responsible for the transportation then you have to take the other back to court and state your case so the judge can rule in your favor.  if the other parent doesn't come to get the child and bring the child home on time they are in violation of a court order.
