Relocation Issues
Relocation issues often occur when the custodial parent wants to move and take the kids out of the state. The key issue is whether the non-custodial parent approves of the move. If not, then the courts get involved. These can be tough cases as the courts typically want both parents to be involved in their children's lives.
When the custodial parent moves, it can drastically reduce the amount of quality time the other parent has with the children. Additionally, the non-custodial parent may have added expenses in order to maintain visitation.
Best Interests of the Children
Arizona divorce code follows a best interests of the children standard. That means if a judge feels a move could be detrimental to your child, the judge may not grant approval. Our Phoenix law firm has handled relocation cases from both sides of the issue. We can review your situation and provide effective guidance.
