Parental Relocations, Move Aways
Courts typically believe that a child's best interests are served by a parenting schedule that give the child continuous and frequent contact with both parents. However, when one parent wishes to move so far away from the other parent that a shared parenting plan is no longer feasible, a re-evaluation of the custody order and parenting plan is usually required. In making this re-evaluation, different rules may be applied depending on the current custody order, and whether the current custody order is permanent or temporary. While the child's best interests are paramount, the Court may also have to consider the custodial parent's constitutional right to move.
Move-aways or parental relocations can be emotionally difficult due to distinct possibility of one parent no longer being able to see his/her children on a regular basis.
