Looking Out for the Best Interests of Your Children
While relocation may represent a new job or a better home for you, the best interests of your children should not be discounted. In fact, those interests are the focus of the courts. At the Arnold Law Firm in Jacksonville, Florida, we share that need to advocate for what children need related to relocation away from the other parent.
Whether you are relocating or disputing a spouse's move to another state, we can help you while focusing on the best interests of your children. For swift, thorough and responsible representation on a relocation and custody matter, contact an attorney at our office at 904-731-3800.
Laws Protecting You in Relocation and Custody Cases
A parent relocating with a minor child must follow strict guidelines. Laws are in place to keep the custodial parent from just picking up and moving to another state, putting custody and visitation schedules into turmoil. At the Arnold Law Firm, we know the proper steps and the procedures related to relocation.
The relocation and custody process is not as simple as notifying the other spouse after you have loaded up the moving van.
Resolving Relocation and Custody Matters
First and foremost, if the move is not in the best interest of the children, the relocation cannot happen. Written notice must be provided. Objections are heard before a judge, even if you are living on a military base. We have represented both sides of a relocation matter, but our focus remains the same no matter whom we are advocating for in court. That focus remains the best interests of the children.
