CHILD REMOVAL & PARENTAL RELOCATION

 

One of the most contentious and emotionally charged situations that can arise during or after divorce is when a parent wishes to relocate with the children.  Following a divorce, or parenting case, courts have continuing jurisdiction over child custody issues. Before a custodial parent can “remove” or relocate a child from their current location and school district, they must provide the other parent specific notice of the intended relocation, and obtain a court order.

CAN I MOVE OUT OF STATE WITH MY CHILDREN?

​

In New Hampshire, you may be able to move to another state and bring your children with you. The Court must consider several factors, but in general, if the court determines that such a move is for a legitimate purpose, and reasonable in light of that purpose, you may be able to move to another state with your children.
