Interstate Child Relocation After a Divorce

Once a divorce or separation agreement is finalized and a pattern of shared parenting has become established, one of the most difficult circumstances to deal with is if custodial parents wish to change his/her place of residence outside of where the custodial parent lives or outside of a radius to which the parties may have agreed.

If you're facing this situation, turn to the family law attorneys at Wand & Goody LLP for the right legal counsel.

Important Factors in a Child Relocation Case

Change of residence is often necessitated by job requirement, remarriage, or a desire to relocate to another city or state. If one parent has to move far away, it creates problems that are more difficult to deal with than if the move is a shorter distance.

As with the initial determination of custody, a relocation issue will be in the best interests of the child(ren). A relocation case may often include the appointment of a law guardian, forensics, and a hearing.

If the need to relocate occurs after a settlement is executed, the court will look at many factors, including, but not limited to, current contact with the non-relocating parent and that which the child(ren) and non-relocating parent will enjoy after the move, financial or other need by the parent relocating making the request, etc.
