Once a marriage has ended, one parent may need to relocate and desire to take his or her children with him or her. A new job, a new relationship or additional family support for a parent may be the motivation for this move. Absent the consent of the other parent, a modification of the existing court order or judgment is required to permit the move with the child. At Lite DePalma Greenberg & Afanador, our combined experience can help you with relocation issues regarding your children.
The courts in New Jersey are required to follow statute and case law with respect to relocation. In order to move, a custodial parent must first establish a good faith reason to move with his or her children. The move also must not be harmful to the best interests of the children. We are knowledgeable in this area of the law and will apply the law to the facts of your case. The lawyers have successfully represented many litigants throughout New Jersey with respect to relocation. You will also have to demonstrate how you will accommodate the noncustodial parent in terms of time with his or her children by extended visits and how this will affect the children’s relationship with the noncustodial parent. The New Jersey relocation of children attorneys can help you demonstrate this proof and formulate your proposal for altering your parenting plan to ensure a stable relationship with your children’s other parent.
If you are protesting the relocation of your children, the attorneys can help you show how this move will negatively impact your relationship with them and how their current living situation may be more beneficial than the one the custodial parent is proposing. Whichever side of this argument we are representing, we will consult with experts on child psychology and welfare to show how the move and changes would affect the children’s overall well-being and relationship with each parent. Our team will build your case on facts and evidence to prove your side of the argument.
