Often, one or both of the parties in a divorce will want to move, either for financial reasons or to get a fresh start. When children are involved, the ability to move becomes difficult. Until recently, the primary custodial parent was often allowed to move without considering the other parent's ability to access the children. Now, a new court decision often allows the noncustodial parent to stop such a move. The court will look at whether the move is in the best interest of the child, based on factors such as the ages of the children, the distance of the move, relationships with both parents, child's preference, and the reasons for the move. Being on either end of a move-away case is very difficult, and we understand the importance of putting your children's needs first.
