Re: child custody

The short answer is No.

However, you should file a petition to modify custody based on the move. In relocation cases the courts apply what has come to be known as the Gruber Factors. A form of the best interests of the child standards that apply to the relocation of the children.

You should know that if you delay filing on this issue you rights to challenge the move may be deemed to be waived.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
