Considering a Child

Relocation or Change
of Domicile
One of the issues of child custody
custod is child relocation.. A parent starting a new life without a husband or a
wife will consider moving somewhere and take the child with him or her. How
However,
ever, a parent cannot simply take
the child more than 50 miles away from the current home state. He/She needs to file for a petition in order to
get permission to the court.

A parent can file for a petition for

fo child relocation.. However, if the parent has a sole legal custody, he/she
does not need the courts permission. If the other parent or the non non-custodial
custodial parent does not approve the
relocation, a trial or hearing
earing must be arranged. On the other hand, if th the non-custodial parent failed to
respond to the petition for the relocation, the court will allow the
th change of residence only if it works to the
best interest of the child.

Child Relocation or change of domicile is often petitioned along with determinations of custody as well as
child visitation. In all child custody issues, the court looks for something that would work for the best interest
interes
of the child. They have the right to question whether an arrangement
arrangement can affect him/her in a worse or better
way.

In a relocation case,, evidence of key determination components should be presented in the court when filing
for a change of domicile motion. These factors may include the
th parental rights of the non-custodial
dial parent,
history of domestic violence,
violenc , improvement of the childs quality of life, or parental relationship with the
child.
