Are You Moving? Is Your Ex-Spouse Moving?

Besides being a heavy emotional situation, there are a number of legal aspects to child relocation. It is important to consult an experienced attorney who understands the delicate situation at hand. Whether you are a custodial parent wanting to move with your child, or a non-custodial parent concerned about preserving your parental rights, our attorneys can help.

Do not move out-of-state with your child without notifying the courts. This is a risky legal situation for both you and your child.

What the Courts Consider

In any child custody or relocation case, the courts consider what will be in the child's best interest. They must consider the move and the impact it will have on the child. They also consider the following factors:

• Has there been a significant change in circumstances warranting a move?
• Is the move motivated by the desire to separate the child from the non-custodial parent?
• Will the move positively affect the child?
• How will child visitation be affected?
