Moving can be complicated after separate

The legal team at The Murphy Law Group often helps parents to come up with new custody and parenting plan solutions when major life changes affect post-divorce plans.

Every move does not require a modification of the paperwork.

If it is a distance of more than 50 miles of your current residence or that of your children's other parent you will likely have to make some legal adjustments to your custody decree.

At that distance, you and the other parent will at minimum have to make changes to the pick-up and drop-off schedule, the other parent's weekday visitation and other matters that would be affected by the hour's distance between your homes.

It is important to create a new parenting schedule that is in your children's best interests, which allows you and the other parent both plenty of time to maintain a healthy relationship with them.

Negotiating a new parenting plan does not always have to turn into a court battle.
