Relocating Out of State with a Child
People choose to relocate for a variety of reasons, including employment and educational opportunities. When one parent decides to move, creating new custody arrangements can be a complicated process.
Whether it is made before or after a custody agreement has been ordered, a disputed relocation request must be approved by the court.
When deciding whether to approve a relocation request, courts will consider many factors, such as:
- Advantages of the move
- The impact of the move on the child’s education
- Family support in the new area vs. in Colorado
- The child’s preferences if they are mature enough
If you want to relocate with your child or prevent a relocation, our experienced interstate jurisdiction attorneys can help. We will take the steps necessary to help you accomplish your goals while protecting your child’s best interests.
