Relocating a child after a divorce or separation requires following specific procedures and adjusting existing parenting plans. A Benton County child relocation lawyer can help you navigate this legal process and advocate for your child’s best interests, whether you are looking to relocate with your child or are objecting to the other parent’s proposed relocation.
At Chvatal King Cantu Law, we have over 35 years of experience helping families throughout the Tri-Cities region. Our attorneys provide personalized guidance and direct client contact so that you feel supported when navigating the complex child relocation laws, strict deadlines, and potential disputes that can arise.
In the first year after a divorce, 35% of children change addresses. Washington courts’ primary concerns when evaluating a proposed relocation are whether the relocation is in the child’s best interests and how a parenting plan should be adjusted to support the child.
In Benton County, a Judge at the Benton County Justice Center at 7122 W. Okanogan Place in Kennewick may consider several factors to understand whether a relocation supports the child’s well-being and development.
Relocation disputes can have lasting impacts on your child’s custody arrangement and your relationship with your child. If you hire a child relocation lawyer, they can help you gather evidence to support your position, negotiate with the other parent, suggest potential solutions to disputes, and represent you in court.
