Divorce agreements frequently possess restrictions in the area of parental relocation. In the event that a parent decides to relocate for some reason (for example, in order to be closer to family, or to take on a new job or job position), they are required to file a petition with the court that seeks the removal of residency restrictions from the agreement itself. It is not uncommon for family courts to deny such petitions, due to the potential hardship it can cause to the child, and substantial modifications to child custody terms are usually required when the petitions are accepted.
Are you in need of legal representation in a matter of parental relocation?
Any request by a parent for relocation should be supported by documentation that illustrates that the move is in the child's best interests. Information about the following factors should be included:
- Neighborhood and school of the new location
- Daycare arrangements
- Employment
- Health issues
- Visitation details
If you are seeking to relocate with your child, or are a parent who wishes to block the relocation of your former spouse in order to uphold a custody arrangement, you will benefit by having an experienced divorce attorney to guide you throughout your case.
