Long Island, New York, Family Law Attorneys: Relocation and Child Custody
If you or your ex-spouse has received a job offer in a different state, wishes to move to an area with a lower cost of living or has other prospects that would require relocation from Long Island or out of the state of New York, an experienced attorney can help you understand the potential effects on your custody rights. As a responsible parent, you want to do what is best for your child. The court that considers the modification request will have to decide whether a move will interfere with the rights of the non-custodial parent.
At the law firm of Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C., we have helped hundreds of clients with the legal aspects of parental relocation. Our lawyers are committed to protecting the rights of our clients and their children through aggressive representation and high quality legal service.
Whether you are considering a move out of state or you wish to challenge the other parent's relocation request, contact us to schedule a free consultation and learn more about your rights.
A Plan for Parental Relocation
In the state of New York, many divorce settlements have a radius clause that states that a parent cannot move more than 25 to 50 miles away from the other parent, even if one parent has sole custody of the child or children. This effectively ties a string between ex-spouses and makes it difficult for either person to take advantage of positive employment and financial opportunities.
If you wish to present a case to the family court in order to be approved for parent relocation, you must present a convincing case in order to prove that the relocation will not interfere substantially with the rights of the non-custodial parent, and that it is also in the best interests of the child. Building your case is not always easy and an experienced attorney can help you assemble a strong legal argument. Do not try to handle these issues on your own, as you must meet very specific requirements in order to relocate.
