Relocating After a Divorce?In today's mobile society, it is not uncommon for one parent to relocate to another part of California (or out-of-state) after a divorce. When the custodial parent wishes to move a substantial distance and take the child with them, the parties may often find themselves in court to either allow or prevent the "move-away". The law office of Elizabeth M. Lewis, located in San Diego, California, has been assisting parents with relocation issues after divorce for the past 11 years. As an experienced divorce lawyer, Ms. Lewis knows the procedures and legal standards governing the relocation of children after a divorce. She is also a Certified Family Court Specialist who has extensive experience and continued legal training on such issues. How to Obtain a Move Away Custody OrderIf you are a custodial parent and are planning to relocate, or if you are the non-custodial parent and the other parent advises you they are contemplating relocation, you should review your present court order concerning custody and visitation. Many divorce decrees provide that a parent may not relocate with the minor child without obtaining prior written authorization from the other parent, or a court order allowing them to do so. After guiding you through the divorce proceedings, a lawyer can also advise you on relocation issues, should you have questions about custody or visitation modifications. At the law office of Elizabeth M. Lewis, we have represented both custodial and non-custodial parents in relocation disputes for over 11 years. If you find yourself in such a custody dispute, contact us today for a free initial consultation.
