Child Custody Lawyer Orange County

Move-Away and Relocation Attorney in Orange County

In most circumstances, California courts give visitation rights to both the custodial parent and the non-custodial parent. A custodial parent cannot move away or relocate the child without the court's permission because doing so would infringe on the non-custodial parent's visitation. The Law Office of Karen H. Beckman handles move away or relocation issues during divorce and post-divorce.

Relocations May Require Modifications to Child Custody

Relocation or a move away can occur for many reasons. Relocation is often for personal reasons, such as a new job, an illness in the family or a new school. You may be moving to another city, a nearby county, another state or even a different country. The court's decision to grant the relocation will be based on a number of factors but the main issue for the court is what decision is in the best interest of the child.
