Relocation

Looking to Move Away?

In our state, child custody matters are governed by the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA).  This means that if you or your spouse decides to move out of state with the children, the matter will have to be petitioned in court to be permitted to remove the child. 

If you would like to file a petition, or challenge your ex-spouse, your interests will be best served by discussing the matter with a competent Glendale family law attorney that is well versed and experienced in relocation cases and the laws and statutes pertaining to family law.  Whether you are seeking or disputing the move, you will need to take certain steps and prove why the relocation should or should not take place.
