Child Relocation (formerly known as Child Removal)

Moving out of state can provide many people with a fresh start, especially after a divorce or child custody proceeding. Sometimes people need to move to another area of the same state or a different state altogether. Most moves are due to a job transfer, family needs, or for the protection of a child. Moving (i.e. what courts call “relocation”) issues often arise after a divorce or custody case has been finalized and after a parenting plan has been entered. However, sometimes one person wants to move prior to a divorce or parentage proceeding (i.e. where parties are not married but have children together).
