Assisting With Parental Relocations

When parents have a time-sharing plan in place and then one parent wants to move out of the area, what will happen? If the other parent consents to the move, the moving parent should consider getting their approval in writing to avoid future issues. If the other parent objects to the move, the moving parent will need to file a petition requesting permission to relocate (as well as permission to bring the child along, if applicable). Once the other parent responds, the family court will hold a hearing to determine what outcome would be in the child’s best interests.

In either case, you’ll need the help of a knowledgeable child custody lawyer, like the ones at the Law Offices of Audrey A. Jefferis, P.A. We have extensive experience handling parental relocations, and we’ll draw on that background to ensure that your interests remain protected.
