Custody, Visitation and Relocation

Parental relocation, particularly to another state or country, will affect custody and visitation arrangements. It may make it difficult or impossible for continued visitation or shared custody. Generally, when a custodial parent moves within a 40 mile radius of his or her existing home, this would not have as great of an impact on these issues, but a long-distance move may make it difficult for the non-custodial parent to remain involved in the child's life. It may require a great deal of time and resources to build a strong case against the parent who is moving or to support your desire to relocate.
