Relocation and Its Impact on Child Custody Arrangements

Child relocation and Move Away actions can have a significant impact on your parental rights. Under California law, divorced parents of a minor child are typically subject to court orders regarding custody, parenting plans, and visitation arrangements. Relocation can result in a material change of circumstances that could justify modifying the terms of an existing custody or visitation arrangement.

If one parent plans to relocate, the other parent has the right to object. To successfully object to parental relocation, a party must prove that the detrimental consequences of moving outweigh the benefits. Our attorneys can help you understand your rights and obligations in a relocation action and work with you to protect your interests.
