Getting Permission to Relocate with a Child of Divorce
A “move-away” case takes place when one parent asks the court’s permission to move the child(ren) away, and that move is far enough that it interferes with the other parents’ custodial or visitation time. Regardless of what the actual distance, if the move has an impact on the current custody agreement, then the moving parent will need to petition the court for a new custody and visitation order. Because of the potential repercussions of approving or denying a move-away request, the court will have to consider numerous factors prior to handing down a ruling.

What the Court Considers During a Child Relocation Hearing
In a relocation proceeding, the court will primarily be concerned with the impact the relocation will have on the lives of the child or children in question. Their health and financial stability are among, but not limited to, the many factors considered. Very often, the court will bring in the assistance of a child custody evaluator to figure out what custody arrangements are in the best interest of the child(ren).
