Both during and after a divorce, disputes can arise when one custodial parent wishes to relocate to another island, out-of-state, or to another country. The relocating parent must get permission from the non-moving parent or the Family Court in order to do so. However, the non-moving parent may try to block the move of the children or request a change of custody if the relocating parent must leave. In this case, the court will hold a hearing to determine what custody arrangement will best suit the child. In such a hearing, the judge will expect a thorough explanation of the facts and information surrounding the move and how the move will impact the children so a decision can be made that best protects the child’s relationship with both parents.
