What Custody Options Are Available For Move-Away Cases
The rights for each parent for a move-away situation is dependent on the current arrangement for custody between the two parents. This will determine what rights each parent has for moving with the child or demanding the other not relocate. Below are examples of rights that are available to the move-away parent.
If the move-away parent has sole physical custody, they have the presumptive right to relocate the child’s address. This, of course, is limited to the court’s ability to prevent any relocation that may harm or injure the rights or welfare of the children according to CA Family Code § 7501. The custodial parent is not required to show a necessity to move as long as the parent is moving in good faith. The non- custodial parent can object to the relocation if they obtain a custody modification that is based on the circumstances changing and detriment of the children.
If both parents have joint custody of the children, the case must be approached de novo, or to put it in simpler terms, it must be determined from scratch what the best interest for the child is. This does not apply, however, if the joint custody is not exercised by the parents. If the move-away parent is the one that has the majority of the custody, then the same can apply to if the move-away parent were to have sole custody. If there has not been a determined custody agreement, the move-away matter 9s based entirely on what the child’s best interest is.
