Re: Custodial Parent needs to move

There are several ways to approach a relocation case, with the options ranging from (a) filing an action in Family Court asking permission to move the child and modify the other parent's visitation to (b) doing nothing and see if the other parent objects -- with many other options in between.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
