Will A Relocation Impact Your Parental Rights?

A residential custodian may want to move out of New Jersey. A new job opportunity may require relocation or a parent may want to live closer to his or her immediate family while raising the children. For parents who are divorced or were never married, custody and parenting time arrangements may restrict their ability to move children out of state.

Laurie A. Bernstein, Esq., is an Essex County, New Jersey, family law lawyer who has argued and won landmark cases on parent relocation. She understands the nuances of this area of law and fights vigorously for the rights of clients who want to relocate and parents whose rights would be affected by a co-parent moving out of state.

Relocation after divorce can be complicated and often experts must be involved. Call our office at 973-567-3591 to discuss your concerns with an Essex County parent relocation attorney.

Considerations For Moving Children Out Of State

The court’s top priority in any case involving child custody, parenting time and requests to relocate out of state is the best interest of the child.

To make an informed decision, the court may also consider factors such as:

  • The reason for the move
  • The benefits of the move for the child
  • The nonmoving parent’s involvement in the child’s life
  • The ability to make arrangements for continued parenting time
  • Property settlement agreements that address custody, parenting time and ability to relocate out of the state

The standards for relocating with a child are constantly evolving. Laurie A. Bernstein, Esq., stays up to date on the latest cases and trends so that she can provide relevant, straightforward advice to her clients. She will go to battle for her clients, fighting to protect their rights and help them achieve their goals.
