How Do I Divorce My Spouse Who’s in Jail?
After a court determines a child custody agreement, it’s not uncommon for the lives of either parent, or their child, to change–and sometimes significantly. Often, after a divorce, the custodial parent will wish to move out of state with their child, either due to a job change, personal preference, or otherwise. Unsurprisingly, non-custodial parents often contest this move, as it will potentially negatively impact their relationship with their child. In cases where an agreement cannot be arranged between parents, the custodial parent will need court approval. If you’re seeking to move away with your child or are opposing a move, contact our seasoned Somerset child relocation lawyers today.
Most people underestimate the complexity of child relocation cases. That is why it is extremely important to hire an experienced child custody lawyer in Somerset who knows the law and has experience in these types of cases. Under New Jersey law, neither parent can remove a child from the State of New Jersey without consent from the other parent or a Court Order. If you’re seeking a court order or oppose one, contact the skilled Somerset County child custody lawyers at the Law Offices of Kesha M. Hebbon, LLC today.
In making a determination as to whether the relocation should be permitted, the Court considers what is in the best interest of the child and the following factors:
Importantly, relocation with a child is not automatic; the parent looking to move away will need to ultimately prove that a move would be in the child’s best interests. If the parent opposing the move can prove relocation would act against a child’s best interests, the court will likely deny it.
This is why it’s so important that you have a skilled team of child custody lawyers in your corner, no matter what side you’re on. Our legal team stands ready to advocate for your child’s best interests, every step of the way.
