Americans are mobile people and may move great distances for employment opportunities or for other reasons. Members of the military regularly move across the United States and the world. If you need to move and have primary physical custody of your children, there are additional complications.
Parental Relocation Lawyers in San Diego
Few areas of family law are as hotly contested as when a parent with primary physical custody of the children wants to relocate with the children. If you need to move with your kids, or if you believe that a move is not in your children's best interests, you need a family attorney who can forcefully and persuasively argue your position to the court. The Law Offices of Daniel J. Martin, APLC, based in San Diego and serving clients throughout Southern California, can help you.
Fighting for Parents and Children During Difficult Times
A parent with primary physical custody cannot move with the children without seeking a modification to the divorce decree. The court will consider many factors when deciding on whether to allow a parent to move with the children such as:
- The impact of a move on the children's relations with the non-custodial parent
- Whether a move would be detrimental to the children and if that detriment would justify a change in custody
- Whether a move is being made to frustrate the non-custodial parent's relations with his or her children.
As in all matters involving the children, the court will do what it believes to be in the child's best interests. Whatever side of the issue you are on, attorney Daniel Martin and our law firm will take a close look at the facts of the case and present all evidence that supports your claims.
Even if a judge grants a parent's request to move with the children, all is not necessarily lost for noncustodial parents. In many cases, judges will grant the noncustodial parent greater amounts of time during summer vacations and lengthy school vacations such as a winter or spring break.
