SKILLED REPRESENTATION FROM A FAMILY RUN LAW FIRM

Child Custody Relocations

Child Custody Relocations

Child custody arrangements can be difficult to set. Every parent wants to have the most time he or she can have with his or her child. Each parent has his or her own schedule that needs to be considered among a host of other issues, including the child's best interests.

So, once these issues have been settled and the residential parent wants to change the terms of his or her child custody arrangement, it is an issue that needs to be taken seriously.

There are many reasons why a parent would need to relocate, including:

  • Military deployment
  • Career/job opportunities
  • Family needs
In Tennessee, there are various laws that control what happens to child custody arrangements when one parent relocates. When the residential parent seeks to move out of state or to move more than 50 miles away, he or she needs to seek the court's permission and the nonresidential parent can object to the move. For military service members who are on deployment, they may transfer temporarily their time with the child to their own parents.

To ensure that you are able to secure the outcome you need to any possible relocation, it is best to work with experienced family law attorneys.
