Parental Relocation Attorney in Portland

In the past it was far more common for a person to be born and raised in the same community where he or she lives for life. Today, families are increasingly mobile. Moving for employment, personal or family reasons to other counties, states or even countries has become more commonplace. However, a long-distance move of this kind will have a legal impact on any custody or visitation arrangement that divorced spouses currently have in place.

If you are looking to relocate or wish to contest your ex-spouse’s request to move away to another state, county or country, a Portland parental relocation attorney at our law firm can help. We are experienced in handling move away cases involving divorced parents and can apply our legal knowledge on your behalf to seek a positive result to your case.

Whether a parent has sole or joint custody, they must advise the court if they wish to relocate. A modification must be made to the current custody and visitation agreement. The family court will make a decision on a parental relocation case based upon a number of different factors, all taken into advisement on an individual basis. The court may look at the reason for the move, the impact the move will have on the child’s relationship with each parent, the impact the move will have on the child and the child’s own preference in some cases. A lawyer can help you present your case to the court in a logical and compelling manner in order to seek approval for your move or to successfully challenge your ex-spouse’s proposed move.
