Move-Away & Relocation
 In today's fast moving world, it
is not unusual for divorced or divorcing parents to be offered a new job in another state
or a different city. Sometimes parties want to move to be near family or to join a new
partner or spouse. Whatever the reason, the decision to relocate often causes a great deal
of anguish and fear.
Both parents may be afraid that the change will result in
the loss of custodial time with the children. There are financial ramifications especially
when travel plans for vacations and regular visits are costly and resources are limited.
Children also experience the stress and worry facing
their families during these challenging times. Through Mediation,
parents can work together to determine the best course for the family. They know their
children better than anyone else.

children. When an ex-spouse decides to move away, the following issues are affected:

visitation, including changing parenting and visitation arrangements

initial parenting plans and make modifications that better serve your family, avoiding the
time and expense of going back to court.
