Relocation Issues - 760-237-0681
Vista Divorce Lawyer @ Vista Divorce Attorney Law Firm
After a divorce has been finalized, custody issues determined and child visitation rights and privileges worked through, most couples go their separate ways to begin rebuilding and moving on with their lives. In many situations, custody issues work smoothly with little need for modification or disputes. One major issue in a custodial parent's life that can require further litigation or proceedings is relocation. If you need legal guidance on a matter of relocation, it is in your best interest to get in touch with Vista Divorce Attorney Law Firm immediately.
Child visitation issues come to the forefront with a custodial parent wants to move out of the state or country. Even when visitation or custody issues do not have the enforcement power of a court order behind them, a judge may prevent a parent from moving when the other parent enjoyed regular contact with the child. Non-custodial parents might need to take preventative measures such as petitioning for custody or modification to keep the other parent from moving, and custodial parents will be burdened with proving to the court that relocation is necessary for financial or family reasons and that it would not preclude any visitation rights that the non-custodial parent currently enjoys. A judge may also rule that a relocating custodial parent must pay for travel expenses or allow extended summer vacations where the child can have time with the other parent. And if the child is moved out of state without an agreement or court order, a habeas corpus petition can be filed with the court within 6 months seeking the return of that child to the state.
