Winning A Relocation Case

The key to championing over a child relocation case is knowing how the court receives and assesses the issues. Separating parents may tend to focus on the pressing issues for them, but the court will always look at the best interest of the child. Listed below are some of the things the court will consider in determining the child’s best interest:

• The custodial parent’s grounds for the relocation with the child
• The kind of bond and relationship between the child and each parent
• The impact on the child’s emotional upbringing, educational support, and the financial capacity of the custodial parent
• The effect of the relocation to the visitation schedule

Being able to address these issues is an important thing in winning a relocation case. The court’s main concern is that the proposed relocation to another city or state would be in the best interest of the children.
