New Haven Family Law Attorneys: Relocation
Legal Representation When You Need to Relocate After a Divorce
A custodial parent's desire to relocate to another state presents a challenge under Connecticut family law. Relocation may require a complete reengineering of the existing parenting plan and other aspects of the separation agreement.
The New Haven, Connecticut, law firm of Yolen and Perzin, LLC, has helped numerous families successfully navigate the relocation and modification legal process. If you are interested in relocating with your children at any point after a divorce, or wish to prevent your former spouse or partner from relocating your children, we can help.
Do you have questions regarding relocation and modification law? Contact Yolen and Perzin, LLC, at (203) 562-5100.
While relocation can cause stress and legal challenges, it also presents positive opportunities for families. Do you have a new job in another city or state? Have you lost your current job? Do you wish to move closer to other family members, or need to move closer to schools or health facilities that will benefit your child?
Resolving Relocation Disputes with Your Former Spouse
We know how to marshal the evidence that will be used to make a relocation decision. A key component of successful relocation efforts is to demonstrate a willingness to help minor children maintain healthy relationships with the other parent. Flexibility regarding school breaks, summer vacations and reductions of child support to help parents visit relocated children can aid in gaining approval to relocate.
We have also helped dozens of parents successfully prevent relocation when relocation does not appear to be in the children's best interests. Do you suspect your child's parent is attempting to relocate for inappropriate or invalid reasons? We can depose witnesses, arrange psychological and psychiatric evaluations and present effective arguments for preventing relocation plans.
