Custodial Parent Relocation

California Parental Relocation Attorney

Even though Mom and Dad do not live together anymore, children benefit greatly by continuing to have meaningful relationships with each parent. Children also need stability, especially after going through the trauma of divorce. But what happens when the custodial parent or primary residential parent has an opportunity to relocate that would provide significant benefits to both themselves and their children?

These are known as parental relocation, or move-away, cases and the laws that deal with these situations are still evolving and changing all the time.

At the Law Offices of Wallace C. Doolittle, we represent clients in Alameda County and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area who are either seeking to gain permission from their spouse or the court to move, or who want to assert their non-custodial parental rights and challenge a proposed parental relocation. Often, the terms and details outlined in the original child custody order are going to resolve this issue. However, the courts do have some leeway in this area and are going to be concerned with answering two primary questions:

• Is this relocation in the best interest of the child?
• AND, is the parental relocation an economic necessity?

As such, the answers to these two questions are critical. As our client, you can feel confident that no matter what side of this issue you are on, attorney Wallace C. Doolittle will work hard to prepare the strongest possible case on your behalf.
