Re: Custody and moving
"Relocation" cases involve many different issues, and they can be especially complex. Generally, the Court will look at the distance of the move, the reason for the move, and the impact on the other parent and his/her relationship with the child.

Because this is such a complex issue, it is especially important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
