Relocating out of New Jersey With Children
Relocating Out of New Jersey With Children —More than Just a Move: When a custodial parent wants to physically relocate a child away from a non-custodial parent, particularly outside of the State of New Jersey, there are more than just emotional issues that need to be addressed. Generally, consent from the non-custodial parent or a court order is required to permit the custodial parent to relocate with the unemancipated child.
Are you planning a big move and want to take your child with you? Or is your child’s other parent? Become educated about your options before taking any actions which may impact the outcome of your relocation child custody case. Conferring with a family law attorney is the first step towards achieving this goal.
Relocating Out of New Jersey with Children – Questions the Court May Ask
Relocation child custody cases involve determining what is in the best interests of the child, which the New Jersey court will assess before making any determinations. Depending on the specific circumstances of your family, the court may ask a number of questions, including:
- What type of child custody arrangement currently exists?
- Have circumstances changed since the original child custody and parenting time court order or agreement?
- What is the parents’ ability to agree and communicate in matters relating to the child?
- What is the relationship between the child and his or her siblings?
- What are the specific needs of the child?
- Is the new home stable and appropriate?
- What is the extent and quality of time spent with your child’s other parent?
