San Antonio Child Relocation Attorneys

Relocating children after a divorce is a common occurrence. The need to relocate can be due to a job change, wanting to be closer to family, or a number of other reasons. When the relocating party has primary custody over a child, though, the custodial rights of the other parent might come into play. Our child relocation attorneys at Higdon, Hardy & Zuflacht, L.L.P. can help you.

Whether you are the parent seeking relocation or the parent who is opposing the move, having an experienced child relocation attorney will make the legal implications easier to handle. At Higdon, Hardy & Zuflacht, L.L.P., we know the time after a divorce can be stressful and disheartening, and we are dedicated to helping our clients find successful relocation solutions that suit the needs of every party involved. Regardless of why you’re moving, we want to make the transition as easy as possible.

Factors Considered in Relocation Cases

When looking at the details of a child relocation case, the court is ultimately looking out for the child’s best interest. Some of the factors they consider include:

  • Reasons given for the relocation
  • Distance of relocation
  • Child’s relationship with the non-relocating parent
  • Impact of the relocation on extended family
  • Non-relocating parent’s ability to maintain a relationship with the child after relocation
  • Quality of life in new location compared to the original
  • Special needs of the child and which location better accommodates those needs

As parents, you need to have your child’s best interest in mind. That is why it is important to find a solution that works for everyone. Having an experienced lawyer on your team can make the process of relocation easier for both parents and the child.
