Decades of Experience in Dealing with Practical and Legal Custody Issues
Disputes over child custody when one parent moves to another state raise many issues beyond those of in-state parental relocation. Some of these are fundamental and practical, relating to parental rights and the best interests of the child, as in:
- Should children move at all, or would their interests be better served by a change in custody?
- What modifications to visitation/parenting time orders are essential to ensuring the non-custodial parent is able to maintain a close, beneficial relationship with the children?
Many other vital issues are specifically legal and technical, with representation calling for experience at the level of Bruce Pennamped’s 35-plus years dealing with cases like yours. It is essential for you to work with a lawyer who will:
- Investigate and fully understand your existing child custody and visitation orders, regardless of which state issued them
- Determine which state’s law governs any modifications of orders in your case
- Understand legal precedent and established case law as it relates to the facts of your case
