Long Island Relocation Attorney

Relocation Lawyer in Nassau and Suffolk

If the custody of your child is shared in any way between your ex-spouse and yourself and you want to relocate, there are a few legal directions you can go. If the move is within the State of New York, but at a distance that impedes the other parent from the agreed upon visitation or shared custody, or the move is out of state, a simple solution is to work out what is in the best interest of the child and work the logistics around this point of view.

Upon working out the details and creating an agreement, parents should obtain a proper consent document specific to the exact circumstances of the parents and child. Each party would then sign in agreement. Having a consent agreement created per the legal guidelines with a Long Island relocation attorney, would be easily recognized as legal and protect everyone involved. In some cases, agreements are not so easily made and it may become necessary to rely upon the Courts to review the facts and circumstances and decide whether or not the move is the best option, thus overriding any request or objection of relocation by either parent.  Working with our expert relocation attorneys is indispensable in protecting your rights as a parent and the well being of your child.

Factors in Relocation Issues:

There are many factors that can affect the agreements between parents regarding decisions to relocate or the issues the Courts will inspect and evaluate as to what is best for the child.

• The reason to relocate such as a job opportunity.
• How much less will the other parent be able to spend time with their child or how difficult will it become?
• Are there any extended family that will be added to the child's life due to the move?
• What kind of opportunities will the child have based on the relocation?
• What is the greater good for the child in any circumstance?
