Providing Counsel on Legal Requirements and Representation in Disputes

Parental relocation is an extremely complex area of family law. Legal requirements are often misunderstood, and relying on hearsay or others’ experience can have serious negative consequences. Any parental relocation –- regardless of distance -- requires the relocating mother or father to file notice with the appropriate county clerk, including any proposed change to visitation/parenting time.

It is not uncommon for parental relocation plans to prompt a child custody dispute. While the governing principle of the courts in issuing or modifying custody/parenting time orders is always the best interest of the child, the knowledge and experience of your counsel can have a major impact on the outcome of your case. At Pennamped and Associates, we are well prepared to help you:

  • Understand the laws and burden of proof applicable to your position in any dispute
  • Build the strongest case possible for the outcome you desire
  • Explore innovative means of resolution that preserve your parental rights
