Legal Question in Family Law in Arkansas

Re: Custodial Parent Relocation

The Court will consider whether the custodial parent can move the child out of the state. There is a presumption in favor of relocation and the opposing parent has to overcome it.

The Custodial parent doesn�t have to prove advantage of moving.

Some factors court considers when determining if the relocation is acceptable are:

The reason for relocation; The educational, health, and leisure opportunities at new location; The visitation and communication schedule for noncustodial parent; The effect on the move on family relationships in the new location and AR; and The child�s preference

Good luck
