Somerset County Parental Relocation Attorneys

Warren, New Jersey, Child Move Away and Custody Dispute Lawyers

Separation and divorce are emotionally difficult for everyone involved, especially the children. Most custody and parenting time agreements establish schedules and arrangements that allow adequate time and healthy on-going relationships with both parents. When one parent wants to move with the children to another state, or even another country, those schedules and relationships will be affected. A parent who seeks to relocate away from New Jersey with the children must either have the consent of the other parent or obtain a court order permitting the move. If you move without consent or a court order, you may face sanctions or even lose your custody rights.

At Shimalla, Wechsler, Lepp & D'Onofrio, LLP , our lawyers are experienced in representing clients in representing clients in requesting and in opposing relocation.

Under New Jersey law, courts must consider several factors in deciding whether to permit relocation. Some of those factors are: the reason for the move (whether it is a good faith reason, such as a new job, or simply for the purpose of preventing the other parent from seeing the children); the distance of the proposed move; the ability of the other parent to see the children and maintain a relationship; whether the move would be detrimental to the children; the advantages or disadvantages for the children in the new location; and whether the other parent would also be able to relocate.

If you are thinking about moving with your children out of New Jersey, or if you need to challenge a move proposed by the other parent, you need sound legal advice about your rights, your potential for success, and possible ways to negotiate an arrangement that will work for everyone in the family.
