Pennsylvania Child Relocations Lawyer

Relocation is a legal term used in divorce law when one of the couple wants to move, either within the state or out of state, particularly when children are involved. In Pennsylvania, several new laws and case laws have been put into effect regarding relocation. These laws make it more difficult for someone to move without notifying their previous spouse beforehand. Because of the laws surrounding divorce relocation successful negotiation without the assistance of an experienced Pennsylvania divorce lawyer before a family court is extremely rare.

The Law Office of Sheryl R. Rentz, PC can help you in your relocation questions or problems. Whether you are concerned about your children or child custody issues, looking to draw up a relocation contract or wanting to negotiate the terms of an existing contract we can help you. We have years of experience handling tough divorce and relocation cases throughout Pennsylvania. Our offices offer free consultations for any potential client.

Any parent who wishes to relocate themselves, especially with children, must contact the court for permission. If children are involved the parent has to argue to the court that the move is in their best interests of the children. The parent also must prove that the move is not being done to spite their ex-partner. These elements are important laws that are designed to protect the best interest of all involved persons. Because of the difficulty involved in such relocation cases it is always a good idea to involve an experienced divorce relocation lawyer who can work solely for your best interests.

Several factors are involved in a family court or judge’s decision regarding relocation. Some of these include an examination of the relationship between the children and the two parents, their siblings (if any), and any other person who may be involved in the upbringing of the child. In addition, any contracts or previously agreed upon conditions regarding movement of the children must be taken into consideration as well.

Ramifications of the relocation, including whether it would impede the relationship of the children with the other relative, whether it would benefit the child more than if they stayed where they lived, the age of the children and any standards of living must all be carefully investigated before allowing a relocation to occur. In addition, where the parent and children are moving to and whether or not the move will ultimately benefit the children must be negotiated as well.

Because relocation following a divorce is a complicated process having an experienced Pennsylvania family law attorney on your side can help you significantly. Regardless of whether you merely want to renegotiate some conditions of your divorce or want to find someone that has already moved with your children, we can help you.
