S10 Ep99: How Far Can a Parent Move Before It Counts as Relocation?

#ChooseGoldman Moving after a divorce often raises legal questions about distance limits, especially when a relocation impacts parenting time and school routines. Understanding how courts evaluate the best interests of the children during a move is essential for protecting your custody rights. • Moving more than 100 miles generally requires court permission, though laws can vary by state. • Some parents attempt to relocate just under the limit to deliberately make parenting time and school routines inconvenient. • Even a shorter move, such as 50 miles, can create significant logistical challenges for daily pickups and drop-offs. • Courts evaluate the totality of the children's best interest factors to determine whether a move makes legal sense. • Insisting on a relocation can prompt the court to alter custody orders, potentially shifting primary weekday parenting time to the parent living closer to the school.
