Childhood moves fast and parenting time is precious. When a parent wants to move away with a child, it creates major changes that require careful attention.

I discuss your options with you regarding your next steps based on your individual situation. I am calm, empathetic and reassuring, always making sure that you understand your rights and responsibilities.
How To Move Away With A Child
If you want to move away with your child, you must provide proper notice. You must inform the other parent about your plans in writing. This written notice should include details about the move, including the new address and reasons for moving. If the other parent does not agree to the relocation, you will have to petition the court and there are additional steps that may be required.
You and your child’s other parent must also weigh the impact on your custody and parenting plan. Virtual contact can help maintain the parent-child relationship if you relocate. Mediation or collaborative law can often help you reach an agreement.
Enforcing A Relocation Order
If a parent violates a court order regarding relocation, I will explore your enforcement options quickly. I can assist you in modifying orders to reflect new circumstances or ensuring compliance with current agreements. For example, you can ask the court to enforce the order. The court may also hold the violating parent in contempt. Whether you are seeking to enforce or challenge a relocation, I offer solutions-focused guidance to protect your rights and your child’s best interests.
