What is Relocation?
A relocation case involves one parent seeking to move to a new location with a child, often to a different state or country. This typically arises in custody disputes where one parent wishes to relocate, potentially affecting the existing custody arrangement or visitation schedule.
Understanding Relocation in Colorado
The court examines two separate standards in a relocation case, depending on whether the relocation occurs before or after the final orders.
Relocation During Divorce
Before final orders are established, the court must accept where each parent has decided to live and fashion a parenting plan that is best for the kids.
Relocation After Final Orders
If relocation is sought after final orders have been issued, the courts make decisions based on what they believe is in the best interests of the child.
The court will ask questions, including:
- What are the advantages of moving versus staying in Colorado?
- How would the move impact education?
- Where is there more family support?
- Does the child have a preference?
