Move-Away Orders

One of the most complicated issues involving child custody is when one parent is moving a distance of at least 50 miles so that the logistics of their original custody order or agreement begins to break down.

Recently, you will find a parent moving to Oregon, Texas, or Washington, and the moving parent wants to bring the child(ren) with them to the new location. What actions can you take if this does occur?

CA COURT RULINGS

The court must conclude that the parent is moving to the new location and thus the judge has the mindset of collecting all the relevant facts (after considering numerous factors involved in move-away cases) to determine what the best interests are of the child(ren) and then what custody schedule can be implemented to promote as frequent and continuous of contact as possible without interfering with the best interests of the child(ren).

BE AWARE

During an ongoing case, neither parent may leave the state of California with the minor children without the written permission of the other parent or a court order.
