Manhattan Parental Relocation Lawyer

Parental Relocation Affects Custody and Visitation

If you are considering relocation or have been informed by your ex-spouse that he or she is relocating, it may present a problem to your current custody or visitation arrangement. Accordingly, you may need to work with a Manhattan parental relocation lawyer to determine how you can protect your custodial or visitation rights in this matter. To present a problem significant enough to gain the court's interests, relocation typically must be more than 40 miles away from the parent's existing place of residence. Relocation may present particularly serious issues for a family when an out of state or international move is involved.

In Manhattan parental relocation cases, it will be necessary to build a solid case to prove that relocation is or is not in the child's best interests. The court will want to rule upon what is best for the child or children involved, and although they typically wish to keep both parents involved in the child's upbringing, there are situations where relocation may be the best option.
