Move Away Orders Decades of Experience

Move Away Orders in Mission Viejo, California

If you have been through a divorce then you may have been assigned child custody rights or visitation rights. If you are seeking to relocate your family to a different state for a job opportunity, better climate, or simply to get away from an abusive ex-spouse, there are some factors that you must consider in addition to obtaining a move away order from the California State court. When filing for this order you will need to be able to prove that this move will be beneficial for your child. The benefits to relocating your child must be substantial that it will convince the court to grant your petition.

It is the primary concern of the California Courts to see that children are properly cared for and that any arrangements made regarding custody and/or visitation are made in order to maximize the benefits for the children that will be affected. This applies to relocation as well as custody rights. If you are seeking to relocate your family then you will need to be able to prove that it is beneficial for the child that they are relocated from their current living area, or that the benefits to relocation significantly outweigh the negative effects of relocation.

What Happens if the Custodial Parent Wants to Relocate?

First and foremost in any family law situation is the welfare of your child. If you are the custodial parent, and you want to move for a job or to live in a better location, to successfully file a move-away petition, you must prove that the relocation is greatly beneficial to your child and that the move will be more beneficial than detrimental. The court takes into consideration the age of the child, the relationship the child has with their parents, how the move will affect the child, why the custodial parent wants to move, how the non-custodial parent will be affected, and more. You will need an experienced family law attorney to override any challenges from the non-custodial parent and to help demonstrate to the court that the move is good for your child.

    “A ray of light throughout the storm”
    After leaving a less than favorable relationship with my son's father and trying to navigate Family Law and the legal system on my own, I found myself completely bewildered. I was referred to The Hunter Law Group by a family friend and have been blown away by how amazing they have been to work with. Not only are they open and honest in their practices, they also empathetic, accommodating, and understanding. Every time I speak with them I feel at ease due to the security and trust they have built while working with them. My whole situation has been a nightmare legally but Dan Hunter and his staff have been a ray of light throughout the storm. I can't thank you guys enough.

    “My only complaint is that I wish I would have found him earlier.”
    I was actually in trial when I realized that my then current attorney "was not cutting it" so to speak. Mr. Hunter agreed to take my case in the middle of trial. I was relieved! Unfortunately, the damage had been done. He was not able to turn the trial judge around, so Mr. Hunter took my case up on appeal and WON! The result on appeal was a reversal of the trial court's spousal support order as well as an order for a new trial on the issue of attorneys' fees. At the second trial on the issue of attorneys' fees and costs, Mr. Hunter was successful in obtaining an order that saved me from having to pay approximately $180,000 in legal fees and costs to my ex-wife. What a relief!!! Mr. Hunter is a master at his craft. My only complaint is that I wish I would have found him earlier.

    I highly recommend you chose him to represent you…and then REST ASSURED that you have made a great choice! He was both collaborative and strategic in getting me the best possible outcome. Not to mention, he has an amazing staff that are well versed in law themselves and also professional and kind to lend an ear to my gripes from time to time.
