Board Certified Los Angeles Family Law Attorneys Helping With Parent-Child Relocation Issues
Child custody and visitation arrangements have a far-reaching impact on the children of the divorced parents. Children have a basic need to feel loved and be cared for by both parents.
Unfortunately, obstacles to this can arise when one parent needs to move away after the divorce. Job offers or military assignments can require a move across country. Family situations may dictate a move to another part of the state.
Whether the person who needs to relocate has primary physical custody or visitation rights, the move away will have a profound impact on one parent's time with the children. For that reason, relocations must be handled through the family courts.
Whether you are seeking to relocate with your children or without — or if your child's other parent is moving — you will need to take steps to protect your relationship with your children and your legal rights.

Helping You Obtain a Fair and Reasonable Resolution to a Move Away
Many things need to be considered when child custody and visitation will be affected by the move, but the primary concern is the best interests of the children. Our attorneys have more than 15 years of experience guiding parents through obtaining modifications to child custody, visitation and support orders to promote their children's interests.
While a parental move will change your family dynamics, it is possible to reach an agreement with the other parent that protects and promotes your children's relationships with both of you.
Our firm can help you mediate a workable agreement regarding a move away petition. We strive for changes to existing court orders that allow the children to continue to have a meaningful relationship with both parents. Whenever possible, we encourage you to handle issues involving your children through collaborative law or mediation.
Our goal is to help you come to an agreement that works for you, the other parent and your children. However, if the situation becomes a contentious move-away battle, we are experienced trial lawyers who can vigorously advocate for your position.
