What You Should Know If You Want To Move With Your Child
Many people think of a divorce as a key time to start over, and for many, part of starting over is moving. Most of the time in a Kentucky divorce, that move is just across the city or to the next town over. But sometimes it’s further: across the country or across the world.
Kentucky law has a great deal of impact on the ability to move with a child. Parents with joint physical and legal custody cannot unilaterally decide to move away with the child. It must be worked out through the parenting plan.
In fact, any attempt to move without consulting the court – even if you have sole primary custody – can be halted by a court order.
The Impact Of Relocation On A Custody Agreement
A relocation will almost certainly upend a standard custody agreement. The logistics of regular cross state, cross country or international custody is such that one parent will have to be the main physical custodian of the child.
This means that the negotiations for holidays and time off with the child become much more high stakes. The balancing act of the parenting plan becomes much more difficult to maintain.
