Parental Relation Factors

If you have already established a child custody agreement with your former spouse that indicates you cannot move, it will be necessary to alter the current agreement to reflect your new location. Some things that will be taken into consideration in forming the new request for custody will include:

• Your employment position or opportunities at the new location
• The distance of the new location from the other parent’s home
• Your income
• Whether or not this new location will present a better opportunity for the success of your child
• Your reasoning for moving

These are just some of the factors that will be taken into consideration when working towards a legal change in a child custody agreement.
