Dallas Relocation Lawyer

Once a divorce is finalized, child custody and visitation orders are used to prevent a parent with primary custody from moving out of the geographic region with their children. Parents with primary custody who want to move must file a motion with the court to modify the current child custody and visitation arrangement. A judge will then make a decision about the proposed relocation based on the children's best interests.

When one parent seeks to relocate with their children, there is often little room for compromise. Child relocation cases can become highly contentious. At the Law Office of Chris Schmiedeke, PC, we have more than 18 years of experience handling highly contentious areas of family law. We offer skilled advocacy tempered with sound judgment to protect our clients' best interests without adding more fuel to the fire.

Handling Child Relocations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area

Our law firm's divorce attorney Chris Schmiedeke has extensive experience advocating for parents pursuing a modification to move outside of Texas and even outside of the country with their children. We are also committed to representing parents seeking to enforce their current custody and visitation arrangement in opposition to the proposed move.

Every child relocation case is unique and handled on a case-by-case basis. We are available to guide you through the legal process to help protect your best interest. Attorney Chris Schmiedeke wants you to be left with no surprises. He will help explain the factors judges use to make decisions in child relocations cases, such as:

• Ages of the children
• Participation of the parent opposing the move
• Distance of the move
• Reasoning behind the proposed relocation
• Any special needs for the children best addressed in either location
• Educational opportunities available to the children in each location

We also work with clients to explain how child support payments could be affected from a proposed move. For example, if a non-custodial parent obtains primary custody, he or should would no longer pay child support and would start getting child support payments from the other parent. We offer a hands-on approach to help address our clients' concerns, while seeking a resolution in their children's best interests.
