Relocation Case
Parental Relocation
Relocation cases are difficult cases that
mostly depend on the facts of the individual case. In parental
relocation cases, the court considers many
factors in deciding whether the child will move or not, including the motives
behind the proposed move, the distance, the quality of the child's relationship with the stay-behind
parent, how the move will affect the child, and ways to keep up the relationship
with the left-behind parent after the move. To have a feel for the chances that a
relocation of the child will--or will not--be allowed, it is mandatory that a parent
--either wanting to move or resisting the move-- schedule an appointment with an experienced lawyer to go through the relevant
facts.
In long distance, move away type of cases
, establishing the parenting time, telephone contact, and traveling
arrangements (as well as funding the long distance travel) are all factors
that must be addressed. This is NOT a do-it-yourself type of action. Acronyms
like UIFSA, UCCJEA, and UPA and the Hague Convention may enter into the
equation. The US Supreme Court has just recently gotten into the fray in a
Texas case involving Chile, rare intervention in family law. You can also look at the related
