It’s important to note that if you and your spouse have not formalized your child custody arrangement, neither has recourse to stop a parent from moving a child out of state.
Religious reasons
People move all the time, so an out-of-state move is one of the primary reasons New Hampshire parents request a change to a custody agreement. Generally, if you don’t plan to more than 100 miles, there is no need to involve the family court, but your spouse can challenge your decision. The parent who decides to move and take their children may be responsible for their child’s transportation to the other parent’s home.
If you do face resistance, a family court judge will look at the following to decide if the move or change to an arrangement is allowed. Family courts will ask the following if a parent wants to move a child out of state:
- Did a parent get a better job?
- Do they have an educational opportunity?
- Will the moving spouse make more money?
- Are they planning on remarrying?
- How will the move affect a child’s relationship with the parent who remains in Michigan?
To make changes in the type of custody you have, your visitation schedule or to get permission to move a child out of state, you need to fill out a Modification of Parental Rights and Responsibilities form.
If you need request a change to your custody agreement, you need to file your petition with a local family court. We listed some locations below:
