Parental Relocation and Child Custody
In some cases, moving to a neighboring state will not greatly affect the parenting plan. However in other cases, it will greatly affect parenting time, holiday schedules and the finances of visiting with each parent. Each case must have the benefit of an experienced attorney to help analyze whether the move is reasonable. Our attorney will help you to find a reasonable middle ground, or fight against unreasonable proposals.
Finding a Reasonable Solution That Protects the Best Interests of Your Child
Our experienced attorney is fully capable and willing to take your parental removal case to trial if it is in your best interest and the best interest of your child; however, this is not always the case as many removal matters can be settled without litigation.
When both parents are able to reach a reasonable, legally sound plan, the courts are likely to agree to the terms as long as your child is not adversely affected. An agreement could include concessions such as reducing child support due to new travel costs associated with visitation or altering an existing schedule for holiday or summer vacation parenting time.
