Experienced Attorney for Parental Relocation Cases
Long distance moves can be complicated. They become more complex when the planned move involves modifying existing child custody and parenting time orders. A relocation usually has a serious effect on these orders. Whether you are considering a move or believe the other parent might be contemplating a move in the near future, you should seek legal counsel as soon as possible.
I use my years of experience to represent clients in parental relocation cases. When you contact my law firm, I can talk with you directly about the law and how it may affect your family.
What if the Other Parent Wants to Move with the Children?
Many parents move without notifying the other parent. If you believe the other parent is considering a move out of the area and away from their current residence, a timely conversation with your attorney is critical. Once the children move, it can be difficult and costly to force a return. The more time that passes after the move, the harder it is to reestablish the bonds and the relationships left behind.
What if I am Planning to Move Outside the Area?
If you plan to move outside the area, you should consider potential legal issues before you pack the moving truck. Parenting plans and judgments usually require you to give the other party notice before you move more than 60 miles away from the residence you maintained when the original custody order was entered. Courts are not very receptive to moving the children, especially without notice.
