Legal Guidance Regarding Parental Relocation After Divorce
Even after a custody order is signed, either party may face a change of circumstances that requires relocation or a moveaway into another county or another state. Depending on the individual case and specifically how the move will affect the best interests of the child, the court may grant a modification to an original order. At The Law Offices of Abbott, Abbott & Logan, PC, our attorneys are experienced with helping clients seek a modification or challenge the relocation of a child.
We pursue aggressive, result-driven strategies to protect your rights and the best interest of your children in relocation modifications and disputes. Contact our attorneys today for a consultation and case evaluation if you are seeking to relocate after divorce.
Looking Out For The Best Interests Of The Child
In considering the best interests of the child, the court will look at the following:
- How the move will affect the life of the child
- How the relocation will affect the relationship between the noncustodial parent and the child
- How the relocation will affect the child's life including friendships, activities, and involvement in the community
- Whether a financial incentive or other opportunity outweighs any negative outcome of the move
