When Parents Move: Relocation Cases Are Increasing Across Long Island

Life changes after divorce. New jobs, new relationships, and rising housing costs are causing more parents to consider moving after a custody agreement is already in place.

When a move affects parenting time, New York courts may need to determine whether relocation is in the child’s best interests.

Factors often considered include:

• The reason for the move
• The impact on the child’s relationship with both parents
• Educational opportunities
• Financial considerations
• The child’s overall well-being

Relocation cases can become complex quickly, especially when parents disagree about what is best for their child or children.

If you are considering a move or have concerns about a proposed relocation, understanding your rights and obligations is critical.
