Child Custody and Relocations

What You Need To Know

Though it may be possible to propose and negotiate a fair relocation or child removal plan, these cases often end up in court. You may desire to relocate with your child or you may object to a pending removal by the other parent. In either scenario, you should have an experienced lawyer on your case as soon as possible.

Koiles Pratt Family Law Group​ is a firm of experienced family law litigators serving clients throughout the Greater Boston area including Boston, the North Shore, and the Merrimack Valley serving clients in all communities from Newburyport to Newton and Andover to Ipswich.

We have vast experience in child relocation and removal cases, and in achieving workable solutions for families. Our firm represents clients with the highest level of professionalism and diligence at all stages of the legal process.

Protecting Your Rights

Your custody or visitation rights may be affected if the other parent relocates and takes your child without your permission. If you have advance warning, we are prepared to represent you in court to prevent your child’s relocation.

Litigation is not normally the first course of action. Before recommending that you go before a judge, we will review the facts and analyze the situation based on custody laws and your unique family circumstances that may shape the outcome of the case. We will discuss options with you and devise a negotiation plan in line with your priorities. If litigation appears to be inevitable, our attorneys will work to build a strong and successful case for you.

Negotiated Child Relocation Solutions

With our help, you may be able to negotiate a new child custody and visitation solution that will meet the needs of both parents while protecting your child’s best interests. This may mean giving the non-relocating parent additional or reconfigured parenting time. Our legal team is ready to discuss the possibilities of this approach while arriving at a promising negotiation strategy.
