Whether you are a parent seeking to relocate and take your child or you are contesting a relocation request of your former spouse, the Burch Shepard Family Law Group, will represent your interests in your legal situation. We focus on providing quality legal counsel and are solution-oriented. Our firm is known throughout Newport Beach and Orange County for providing legal services delivered with the highest levels of professionalism and integrity.

Deciding Factors In Move-Aways

There are many different deciding factors in a move-away case, with the most important factor being "the best interests of the child."

Other deciding factors include:

  • Relationships that the child has developed with others.
  • Age of the child (depending on the age of the child, his or her wishes may be considered).
  • Distance and reasons for the move.
  • Ability for the child to continue to build a relationship with the other parent through frequent and continuous communication.
  • Current custody arrangements. 

Given our current economic state, many parents seek relocation due to job opportunities and other ventures. It is in your best interests to seek advice from one of our experienced Orange County attorneys to learn about your rights and the process of either seeking relocation or challenging a relocation request. We will provide straightforward, practical advice.
