Parental Relocation In Texas
Occasionally, a new job or a change in your family might require you to move. If you wish to move a significant distance, it could have implications for your child custody and parenting schedule. If there is an existing court order in place, your proposed relocation may require court approval. At Mark Morales & Associates, we represent parents who need to relocate with a child, in addition to those who want to obtain primary physical custody of their children and/or preserve their parental rights as the other parent moves.
As in most family law matters, the court's decision whether or not to allow the move typically depends on its interpretation of what is in the best interests of the child. This often involves coming to a solution that will enable both parents to maintain a meaningful relationship with the child. Examples include a change to the parenting schedule, virtual visitation, or limiting a parent's ability to relocate with the children.
