Relocation of a Minor Child

Often referred to as "Parent Relocation", in essence the legal process of one parent choosing to move beyond the 50 mile radius of most child custody court orders actually refers to the relocation of the child, or children as the primary residential parent moves out of the designated zone of the court order.

A parenting plan which has been approved by the court and specifies the existing court orders regarding explicit detailed rights, responsibilities, logistical considerations, and limitations concerning each divorced parent's access to the children. Stipulations may or not exist in the court order which allows some minor adjustments as needed if circumstances change over a period of time.

When a parent who has primary custody of a child, or children, chooses to move outside of the designated approved geographical radius of the other parent the regular access and visitation between the child and the non-custodial parent will be be affected.
