If you are interested in an out-of-state relocation or in-state move, you have to demonstrate to the court that it is in the best interest of your children. The court will look at a number of factors as they try to understand the reason for your move and how it will impact the lives of your children, including:
- Why are you relocating?
- Do you have a job lined up in your new potential home?
- Will there be a support network for the children in the new location?
- Have you lost your job in your current location?
Some relocation cases are relatively simple. If the non-custodial parent fails to pay support or has a problem with drugs or alcohol, and the custodial parent provides constant support, but has to move for job-related reasons, it is clearly in the best interest of all parties involved for parental relocation to be granted.
In most cases, however, the non-custodial parent is living up to their end of the bargain, making relocation much more difficult. You must ask yourself if the move is in the best interests of your children? Most often, the courts want to keep families together, so that children can have strong relationships with both parents.
