You’ve made it through one of your most difficult journeys and your divorce is finalized. It isn’t uncommon to want a fresh start in another location. However, before you call the moving trucks, take a few moments to understand relocation and what that means for child custody agreements and parenting plans.
Relocation is defined as any move that is more than 50 miles. In cases of relocation, almost every aspect of the child custody agreement and parenting plan will have to be modified. This becomes even more complex if family law from another state must be adhered to.
Keep in mind, more often than not the court will want to side with not disrupting the lives of the children. The court will take the following into consideration:
- Age of the children
- Distance of the move
- Improvement of quality of life
With this in mind, if you are the parent wishing to move, you need an ally. You will need to prove to the court why a move would be beneficial to the children. Our attorneys have experience with relocation and will fight for you and your children.
