Our society has become increasingly mobile, with parents and children often relocating to other states both before and after the court has taken action.

Interstate Child Support, Child Custody and Visitation

Interstate issues revolving around children, whether the issues involve visitation, custody or child support are intricate and complicated. However, do not let the fact that the other parent and/or children reside in different states be a bar to your right to a full relationship with your children, nor to your children’s rights to support from both parents. These matters are governed by the Uniform Child Care and Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA) and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). Whether you need to increase or decrease your child support, ensure enforcement of an order, or establish a child support order, our attorneys are well versed in the complexities of UIFSA and the UCCJA, and can guide you through the myriad of necessary paperwork to achieve your desired results.

Removal Actions

Another important interstate issue is child custody and removal of a child across state lines. The unauthorized removal of a child across state lines can lead to significant consequences. When you are considering relocation, you should always consult with an attorney who will help you with the following:

• Securing the consent of the ex-spouse; or
• Seeking a court order during or after divorce to allow the move-away

After a court matter is finalized, or during litigation, if you need to move-away because of a change in your job or other personal reasons, we can seek permission from the court, or file a modification of the original judgment.
