Child Relocation Attorney in Riverside CA

Get expert help with move-away petitions from a child relocation attorney in Riverside CA

Child Relocation AttorneyThe separation of a household following a divorce or custody battle can be traumatic enough; add in an extreme geographical separation and things can get even more stressful for a child. Fortunately, the law does provide a means for ensuring that any and all moves will be in the best interests of the child. Whether you are the parent seeking to relocate or the parent left behind, a child relocation attorney in Riverside CA can help you through the legal proceedings related to move-away petitions.

Initiating a Move-Away Petition

When you want to relocate with your child, you must file a move-away petition describing your reasons for moving and explaining why the move is in the best interests of the child. In determining whether to grant or deny your petition, the court will consider:

  • The age of the child
  • The current relationship with the parents
  • The impact on the non-custodial parent’s access to the child
  • The impact of the move on the child’s well-being and emotional stability

By hiring a child relocation attorney in Riverside CA to prepare your petition, you can ensure that all of these factors are addressed in a convincing argument in favor of your move.

Challenging a Move-Away Petition

Non-custodial parents responding to move-away petitions can also benefit from Kendall & Gkikas’ years of experience as a child relocation lawyer in Riverside CA. The two main ways we can challenge move-away petitions are by proving that the custodial parent is deliberately moving to deny you contact with your child, and/or by proving that the move would be detrimental to the child’s best interests. If your challenge is successful, you might be able to either stop the move or else gain primary custody of the child.
