Orange County Relocation Lawyer
Similar to any family law decision involving children, the choice to move out of state with a child is taken very seriously by the courts. If you are planning a move with your child or wish to prevent your child from being taken across state lines, it is important to consult with an experienced family law attorney.
At the Fullerton-based Law Office of Jeffrey D. Stearman, I have more than 25 years of experience assisting clients with their family law needs. If you have questions regarding move aways and protecting the best interests of your children, I will answer them. Contact my law office by e-mail or call 714-871-7778 for a free initial phone consultation.
Reasons for Moving and How the Court Perceives Them
Even if the intentions behind a move are legitimate and do not involve the purpose of driving a wedge between the child and another parent, the court may still deny moving out of California. The court will look to many factors when deciding if a move is in the child's best interests, including:
- Job opportunities
- Relationship with both parents
- Prior custody and visitation orders
- History of violence
- Safety of the child
- Education of the child
At the Law Office of Jeffrey D. Stearman, I focus on child custody and child relocation laws. I will work with you to build a case that will achieve your goals.
Parenting Time in Fullerton
One of the main factors a court will focus its attention on during a relocation is the parenting plan that is already in use. Both parents' past behaviors will be closely scrutinized and investigated in order to come to a conclusion that best protects the child involved. As a child custody and move away attorney, I will work closely with you to prepare you for court and your appearance before a judge.
