Child Relocation Attorneys in Washington

It is fairly common for a primary-custody parent to consider moving away with his or her child. In order to move away from the other parent, he or she would need to take legal action.

Common reasons for relocation can include:

  • Pursuing a job opportunity
  • Living closer to family or friends
  • Continuing with education
  • Economic reasons, such as moving to a more affordable area

If a parent wishes to relocate with the child outside of the school district where the child currently resides, he or she is legally obligated to send notice of these intentions to the other parent. The other parent then has the right to contest the relocation.
