RSMO 452-377.2

Is it possible to find an attorney who will take a case where a parent violated RSMO 452.377.2, without cost initially, with the intent of claiming the attorneys fees and court costs from the violating parent?
My Ex violated the statute and moved 75 miles away, creating a hardship for me with regards to transportation, as well as not having her help with the kids being able to get to activities, etc. Basically, the distance has/is creating a multi-faceted issue. She did not notify anyone of the move until it was already planned and executed.
I would like to take her to court, with the main intention of either getting her to move closer to the children, or else have the parenting plan changed due to her inability to be as involved as she is supposed to be.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I’m not a family attorney but I am assuming there is some sort of code that talks about violations of agreements made prior, during or after the custody case. She will probably have to move back closer if that was agreed upon during your custody case. As far as hiring a pro bono lawyer I will suggest two different options. Most attorneys will work out a payment plan with their clients so if you don’t have the upfront cash to pay the attorney they will work with you on a payment schedule. Most will work something out for a month to month. The other alternative is to look at legal aid. Legal aid will take your case for free if you need financial help. If your wife violated the agreement I don’t think you should have much of a problem getting her back closer to you!
