Things change—it’s one of the inevitabilities of life. In a divorce, you work hard to put together a custody and visitation plan, and it works for a while, but then you or your ex learn that you either want or need to relocate, perhaps for work or maybe just to be closer to family. If there are minor children still living at home, you typically won’t be able to move away from the non-custodial parent without consent, and often must have the permission of the court. If you or your ex are considering relocating with minor children, you want an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer to protect your rights.

Our Representation in Relocation Proceedings
In Texas, the presumption is that both parents will have joint legal custody, sharing critical decisions about the child’s life, including where the child will reside. There are limited situations where the court can grant one parent sole legal custody (now known as “managing conservatorship”), but the preference of the courts is that both parents have meaningful involvement with and access to minor children.
We represent custodial and non-custodial parents in all types of custody and visitation matters, including situations where the custodial parent seeks to relocate with minor children. We’ll work with you to determine what is in the best interests of your minor children and to identify solutions that will meet the approval of the court.
