In the modern economy, it’s perfectly normal to move where the jobs are, and it’s relatively straightforward in most cases to make a persuasive argument to a Family Court judge that the best interests of the child is where you are able to maximize your earnings.
If your current job wants to transfer you out of state, or an offer is on the table for a better position, you’ll need the court’s permission before you can pack up your children and head out.
But it’s not that hard to get today.
It helps tremendously if your former spouse can be brought on to support the move.
Sometimes this isn’t possible, and the court will have to weigh the relative merits of your improved situation against the importance of a close geographical connection to the child’s other parent.
It is possible to prevail. Call the attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer at 585-484-7432 and learn how we can help you fulfill your dreams, even when they take you away from New York.
