A common question that comes up after a divorce is regarding relocation. If you want to move to another state after you are divorced and you have children, you are required to petition the court. Relocating with children can quickly become complicated — there are many factors the court must consider based on what is in the child's best interest.
Relocation will affect your child's timesharing schedule and the parenting plan. It may also affect alimony and child support, and you may need to go back and adjust some or all of those details. With the complexity involved, you will want to have one of our family law attorneys guide you through the process.
Moving can be stressful enough without adding frustration that wasn't addressed appropriately. Discussing your options by setting up a complimentary strategy session well before you intend to relocate is key.

As Doreen Yaffa says: "Relocation cases are tough, and don't believe anyone that tells you otherwise.

Pure outright honesty is key — and what each person deserves from the onset of when they hire us."
