Even after your divorce has been finalized, there will inevitably be divorce-related difficulties in your life for years to come.
One of these challenges is relocation. A parent relocation case happens when a parent who is a primary caregiver wants or needs to move away far enough to change the court-ordered joint custody arrangement. However, without consent for the move from the other parent, a legal clash could emerge.
Relocation almost certainly will require a modification to the court-ordered custody and visitation arrangements. The parent will actually have to be granted the court’s permission to relocate. It does not matter how far a parent is moving — if the move affects the court-ordered custody and visitation arrangements, a modification is usually necessary.
