When a custodial parent decides to relocate for employment reasons, a new marriage, to be with family or any other reason, it may cause visitation problems for the non-custodial parent if the new residence of the custodial parent is a greater distance from the non-custodial parent’s residence than the distance of the current custodial parent’s residence or will create a visitation or travel hardship for the non-custodial parent.
Consult With A Lawyer
If you are concerned about a relocation situation it would be beneficial for you to consult with a lawyer. You can call the Law Office of Jerold S. Slate at (845) 471-4141 to arrange for a personal and confidential consultation. Mr. Slate has experience in helping a custodial parent make a relocation move and also preventing a custodial parent from making a relocation move that would create significant problems or a hardship for the non-custodial parent regarding child visitation. A guiding principle that will be considered by the judge who decides whether or not to allow the relocation move is “what is in the best interest of the child.”
