Relocation
Relocation and the Residential Schedule
As our economy becomes more global and companies and jobs change location more often, it is becoming increasingly more common for a primary residential parent to relocate children away from the other parent. Under Washington State family law, prior to relocating a child who has been previously named in a Washington State parenting plan for a distance that would significantly disrupt the residential schedule, the relocating parent must give notice of the intended relocation to the other parent. The other parent then has the opportunity to contest the relocation.
Our attorneys can advise and represent you if you are seeking to relocate with your child to ensure that your intended relocation is processed according to the law. We can assist you in preventing the relocation of your children if you have received notice of an intended relocation. Our family law attorneys are highly experienced and have a proven track record in all areas of Washington State family law, including relocation cases. Relocation cases often involve child custody disputes, and ultimately can become the equivalent of a child custody modification action.
McKinley Irvin family law attorneys have successfully represented many clients in relocation actions. If you are the primary residential parent of your child and intend to relocate your residence, or if you are a parent who has received a notice of an intended relocation, we invite you to contact our office for an appointment to discuss your rights and obligations.
