Move Aways

The child custody or visitation stipulations in a divorce settlement are not necessarily permanent. Changing conditions, such as a job transfer or the remarriage of one of the former spouses, can call for a modification to the original custody or visitation arrangements.

Practical Move Away Solutions

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Graff, I help divorced clients in all types of move away and relocation situations to achieve practical custody solutions that protect the rights of clients and the well being of the children.

As in custody or visitation matters when they are first resolved, there are no firm and fast laws about moving out of state. The court will always decide in favor of “the best interests of the children,” but the court has wide latitude in fashioning its decision. If you or your former spouse wants to relocate the kids to another area or state, you need an experienced child custody lawyer who can protect your rights and interests.

Negotiations and Litigation

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Graff, I will provide sound advice in order to provide realistic expectations regarding what you might expect to obtain in terms of custody and visitation. Often, I can reach an accommodation with the other party through negotiation that can provide both sides with a workable solution and parenting time for both parties. On the other hand, if your spouse is moving out of state merely in an attempt to obtain exclusive physical custody of your child, I may be able to go to court with compelling arguments as to why that could be bad for the child.

As in all family law matters, experience counts in move away situations. With 27 years of experience, I have the experience and the ability to negotiate or litigate workable solutions that protect a parent’s rights and interests.
