Attorney Serving Pearland, Katy, Pasadena, The Woodlands, and Sugar Land
Are you interested in relocating after your divorce or child custody plan? In most cases before you can move, you must get permission from the court. As an area of Texas law that is still growing, there are a lot of questions about relocations, both within Texas and to other states. Make sure you have an experienced lawyer to help you through the process.
I am Houston parental relocation attorney Philip Placzek, and I am dedicated to helping all Texas families find solutions to their unique situations. Whether you are interested in moving because of a new marriage, new job or other reason, it is my job to help you find a way to do it, while making sure the rights of your children are considered properly.
Conflict Resolution Without the Conflict
Since the laws regarding parental relocation are still being written, these cases are very challenging. The results are very case-specific and there are many circumstances where a parent's request to relocate will be granted. For example, if one parent has not seen the children in three years anyway, the other parent requesting the relocation will most likely be granted permission to move. The courts are happy to help families when it will not impact the current relationship between parents and children.
However, if a custodial parent requests relocation because his or her new spouse has been given a new job somewhere far away, the courts are less likely to grant the request, because it would break the parent-child relationship between the children and noncustodial parent.
Whether you are requesting a child relocation or hoping to prevent one, you need an experienced lawyer to walk you through the entire process. I will take a close look at your situation, help you avoid any rash decisions and come up with long-term decisions that work for your family.
