Relocation disputes call for careful attention to the current order, the proposed move, the child’s routine, and each parent’s practical plan. We help clients prepare to request or oppose relocation.
We build the case around concrete details: what will change, how the proposed plan would work, and what evidence supports the requested outcome.
Issues we can help you evaluate
- Existing parenting plans and orders
- Distance, travel, and new schedules
- School, family support, and stability
- Requests to relocate or objections
Common questions
Start with
the basics.
When is it useful to call about child relocation?
A conversation can be useful while you are planning a family change, responding to filed papers, working under an existing order, or preparing for a hearing. If a deadline or hearing is already set, call promptly and have the relevant papers available.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Bring filed papers, prior orders, written agreements, hearing notices, relevant communications, and a short timeline. Financial matters may also require income, account, property, and debt records.
Can the firm promise a particular result?
No. Outcomes depend on the facts, law, evidence, court, opposing positions, and client decisions in the individual matter. The first task is an honest assessment, not a promise.
