Parent Relocation:
How the Court Evaluates

The court always makes decisions based on the child’s best interest. If one of the parents object the relocation, each has to prove how is it going to impact the child’s well-being. For the custodial parent who is getting the permission of the court, they should prove that the move would give a child a better, safer, and healthier home environment. It is also a must that the child’s education is not compromised.

However, if the relocation is simply a form of revenge to the previous partner or to escape the child from the other parent, you will have a lot of convincing to do. You need to present substantial evidence that the move is for the benefit of the child and for you to provide him or her better life. You will need help from a parent relocation lawyer to get this done.
