Moving out of state with a child

Contact Us Today!
 

When parents in New York State get divorced, they are often faced with a difficult custody matters. A lot of times, one parent has greater custody than the other, making them the custodial parent. When the custodial parent wishes to move out of state with the child, it is often a source of concern for the noncustodial parent because they may fear that they will strain their relationship with the child further.

If a custodial parent wishes to move out of state they will be required to request permission from the noncustodial parent. When the noncustodial parent is opposed to the move, the matter may find itself in court. The court will always rule in the child’s best interest and therefore, will have to take a number of different factors into consideration regarding the move. Some of the factors that will be considered when the court is determining whether a custodial parent should be able to relocate with the child include the following:

  • The reason the custodial parent requests the move
  • The reason the noncustodial parent opposes the move
  • The change in the quality of life for the parent
  • The change in the quality of life because of move
  • The bond with each parent
  • The impact of the move on the relationship with extended family members
  • The impact of the move on the relationship with the noncustodial parent
  • The disruption to the child’s social and academic life

What Our Clients Are Saying

I hired Susan to represent me in a divorce matter where I was fighting for custody and to limit my wife's equitable share of our assets. I won custody of our son, kept the marital residence, kept my professional practice, kept my building and paid less than half to my wife. This was after a long-term marriage. She could persuade the court that equitable is not equal and sometimes the man does deserve to win!

I first must say that I had been represented by two prior attorneys both of whom had simply taken my money and left me nothing to show for it in my custody case. They kept telling me what they were doing for me but I found out they were lying. Susan on the other hand had gotten me temporary custody and support for my children and myself within two months of hiring her. I cannot say enough about her.

‐ Craig

After talking to a few other attorneys, I hired Susan to represent me in my divorce and custody dispute. I was reluctant to go with her because she was the cheapest out of all the other attorneys I met with, but I'm so glad I did. I am 100% positive no one else would have done such a great job with my case as Susan and her staff. Her work is quality, her staff is reliable and her character is honorable. There...

‐ Linda

I had a very difficult case where I had already burned through two attorneys who were unable to get me custody of my children and complete my divorce. Susan was able to rapidly work out an agreement and not let it just malinger on like my previous experiences. She was also considerate of my financial situation unlike all of the other lawyers I had spoken to. I highly recommend her if you want complete and caring service with an in-depth knowledge of...
