Relocating With Children After Divorce
Circumstances change and no one's life stays stagnant after the issuance of a divorce decree or custody order. It is not uncommon for one parent to desire to move with the children out of state. Relocation raises child custody, parenting time and child support issues.
At the Lawrence Law Office, we have more than 20 years of experience and have represented both sides in move-away cases. In contested cases, the relocating parent must ask the court for permission before he or she moves with the child.
We believe in a proactive approach to move-away issues and counsel our client to put in the divorce decree or parenting order how they are going to deal with relocation issues when they arise. Contact us to discuss your relocation issues with an experienced attorney. Call 888-483-6115.
Ohio Parental Relocation Factors
Ohio courts consider many factors, including:
- Where? — Where does the parent want to relocate? How far is it from the other parent?
- Why? — Why does the parent want to relocate? New job? Job transfer? Military deployment? Remarriage?
- How? — How will a parenting time schedule be structured? Will the non-relocating parent still have regular visitation?
The court's primary focus, however, is on the best interests of the child. Does the new location offer better schools or cultural benefits? Is there family in the new area?
Time is of the essence to address relocation issues, if you want to relocate or you fear your ex-spouse is relocating, don't wait until the last minute to learn about your options. Call Lawrence Law Offices today at 888-483-6115.
