Focusing on What Is Best For Your Children

Relocation can arise for various reasons, including employment or the possibility for a new family life. However, what may be best for the parent may not be best for the child. Courts will consider many factors in hearing the relocation request, including the child's acclimation to the current situation, how the child is doing in school and how the relocation would facilitate or harm parenting time.

To ensure your interests are pursued, seek the assistance of an experienced legal professional as soon as possible. There are strict timelines and guidelines that must be followed when seeking or contesting relocation. An experienced lawyer will work to uphold the rights of the parents while keep the best interests of children at the forefront.

In the end, the court cannot prohibit you from moving. However, if the court decides the move is not in the child's best interests, it will prohibit you from taking the child out of state.
