Relocation
If a custodial parent wishes to relocate within New York State or outside of the state, it is important for them to talk with an attorney before the move. The court that granted your divorce retains power — or jurisdiction — over that order. If the move is significant, a custodial parent must get the court's permission before the move. Parents who relocate without court permission may be putting their custodial status in jeopardy. At Polin, Prisco & Villafane, our lawyers represent custodial parents seeking to relocate and noncustodial parents opposing such a move.
Modifying Child Custody and Visitation Agreements
If your current child custody and visitation agreement is not meeting your needs, an application can be made to modify the terms of the custody agreement. In order to modify a child custody agreement, it will be necessary to show a change in your circumstances. Additionally, courts will always look to the best interests of the child when deciding whether or not to modify the terms of a custody agreement.
