As a father who shares 50/50 custody of my children, I am considering a move out of state for a new job opportunity.
What are the legal implications of this decision, and am I allowed to move under these custody arrangements?

Keep in mind that the court aims to prioritize the best interests of the child, and the parent planning to relocate often has to provide strong evidence in court. It’s wise to consult a family law attorney for guidance on dealing with the legal aspects of relocation with 50/50 custody.

When considering a move out of state while sharing 50/50 custody of your children, it’s crucial to understand the legal implications, as they can be quite complex. Generally, the parent planning to move must provide adequate notice to the other parent and may need to seek court approval, particularly if the move would significantly disrupt the children’s current living situation or visitation schedule.
The court’s primary concern is the best interests of the child, which includes factors like the child’s age, preference, the reason for the move, potential impacts on their education and social connections, and the existing bond with the non-relocating parent. If the move is considered detrimental to the child’s welfare, it may be challenging to obtain approval.

@Tonny Never accept legal counsel from a rival. Attorney up now. Not after he does an action.
