Modifications Reflecting Move-Aways
As time goes on, circumstances will change that may require a child custody modification. A major change in circumstance is if one parent wants to relocate or move outside of the geographic area designated by the court order. If a parent wishes to do so, he or she must receive court approval. This is an often contentious issue between parents, especially if the parent who is moving away has substantial parenting time with the child. Ultimately, the best interests of the child will prevail. However, this is not a cut-and-dried issue and requires effective and skilled advocacy by an experienced Houston relocation attorney.
