Dallas and Plano Relocation Lawyers

Change is inevitable. Sometimes change brings the chance for a better life, out of state. If a custodial parent wishes to move out of state to take advantage of such an opportunity, he or she must give the noncustodial parent notice and seek a modification of the child custody order.

Texas Move Away Attorneys

If you are thinking of moving out of state, you must seek modification of your child custody order before you relocate with your child. The court will consider several factors in determining whether to allow the relocation, including:

• The circumstances surrounding the move, including the noncustodial parent's existing relationship with the children and the custodial parent's reason for moving
• The age and educational needs of the children, including educational opportunities in the new location and the effect on the children's religious and community involvement and participation in extracurricular activities, if any
• Difficulty for the noncustodial parent to travel to the new location and be involved in the children's life
• Proximity to other family members

If the court allows relocation, the parents must agree to a new parenting plan that takes into account issues related to visitation with the noncustodial parents, such as travel arrangements and practical visiting schedules.

Our Plano relocation attorneys will help you and your child's other parent form a reasonable parenting plan in accordance with Texas law and your current living situation.

If your child's custodial parent has moved without notifying you and getting modification of your existing visitation arrangement, our Plano relocation attorneys can help you take action. The Uniform Interstate Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act governs which state has jurisdiction to consider matters regarding enforcement of custody orders.
