Do I have to notify my ex-husband that I am remarrying since we have a child?
Full Question:
I have sole custody of my daughter. My ex husband is mentally ill and was in jail several times for aggravated stalking of me. He is now in Tennessee on probation. I am getting re-married and want to know if I even have to tell him. I am concerned for my daughters safety and mine. We still have an active restraining order of no contact.

Answer:
Whether there is an obligation to notify your ex-husband of a remarriage depends on all the facts and circumstances involved and the terms of the divorce decree. Alimony payments sometimes cease upon remarriage. A parent may be required in the divorce decree to be notified before a relocation, but such notification is rare regarding a remarriage itself. You can verify the terms of the divorce decree, but courts do not want there to be penalties on remarriage and a notification requirement is unlikely. A person often changes beneficiaries in a will or investments upon a remarriage, however, the beneficiary is typically not required to be notified.
