Washington Child Relocation Lawyers

Navigating the Legal Process of Child Relocation

It is fairly common for a primary-custody parent to consider moving away with his or her child. In order to move away from the other parent, the parent would need to take legal action.

Are you considering relocating with your child, or do you need to contest a relocation notice? Our child relocation attorneys in Washington are ready to assist. Call McKinley Irvin today at (206) 625-9600 or contact us online to discuss your case!

Reasons for Child Relocation and Legal Considerations

Common reasons for relocation can include:

• Pursuing a job opportunity
• Living closer to family or friends
• Continuing with education
• Economic reasons, such as moving to a more affordable area

If a parent wishes to relocate with the child outside of the school district where the child currently resides, he or she is legally obligated to notify the other parent of these intentions. The other parent then has the right to contest the relocation.

If you want to relocate with your child, our lawyers can provide seasoned legal counsel and help ensure you follow the law's requirements.
