Child custody agreements are based on the information all parties have at the time of the divorce. No one, however, can predict what will happen in the future. In many families, a parent has to relocate and the custody agreement has to be modified. A Connecticut family law attorney can help you navigate the relocation process.
Move-Away Custody Cases
The Bruce A. Chamberlain Law Office provides child custody modification representation to parents throughout the New London County area. We understand that as your family's needs change, your custody orders must change with them. Whether you are the party seeking or challenging the relocation, representation from a custody lawyer is essential.
Our experienced New London County relocation lawyer can ensure that your rights and your relationship with your child are protected.
The family law judge will consider numerous factors before deciding to grant or deny a parental relocation, including:
- Whether the move is in the best interests of the child
- The reason for the move
- The distance of the move
- The relationship between the child and each parent
It is advisable to have an attorney help you gather the necessary information to support your case and present it to the judge.
Some of the most common reasons that parents request relocation are to take a new job, to be near family or to remarry. A parent who is in the military may also need assistance with relocation if he or she is deployed out of state or out of the country. We represent service members in military child custody cases.
