What is a relocation case?
A relocation case involves a parent seeking to move with a child in a way that affects custody or parenting time arrangements.
Do I need court approval to move with my child?
Yes. If the move impacts the other parent’s visitation or custody rights, court approval or a written agreement is typically required.
How do courts decide relocation cases in North Carolina?
Courts consider the child’s best interests, including educational opportunities, stability, parental involvement, and the reason for the move.
Can the other parent object to the relocation?
Yes. The non-moving parent can contest the relocation, and the court will evaluate both sides before making a decision.
Can relocation affect custody agreements?
Relocation often requires changes to custody, visitation, and long-distance parenting schedules.
Do I need a lawyer for a relocation case?
Relocation cases are complex. North Carolina Child Custody Attorneys help protect your rights, present your case clearly, and pursue the best outcome for your child.
