Depending on the individual case and specifically how the move will affect the best interests of the child, the court may grant a modification to an original order. At Abbott Logan, our family law attorneys are experienced with helping clients to seek a modification or to challenge the relocation of a child. We pursue aggressive, result-driven strategies to protect your rights and the best interests of your children in relocation modifications and disputes.

Looking Out for the Best Interests of the Child
In considering the best interests of the child, the court will look at the following:
- How the move will affect the life of the child
- How the relocation will affect the relationship between the noncustodial parent and the child
- How the relocation will affect the child’s life including friendships, activities, and involvement in the community
- Whether a financial incentive or other opportunity outweighs any negative outcome of the move
