Relocation

In Louisiana, the Relocation Statute applies when one parent, or someone with custody of the child, wants to relocate outside of the state to establish a principal residence of the child. The statute also applies when the principal residence of a child is moving more than 75 miles from the home of the other parent, if there is no custody order in place (in the state of Louisiana). The statute will apply if there is a custody order in place for a parent trying to move more than 75 miles from the principal residence of the child or children.
 
In relocation situations the court tends to place a higher burden on a parent who intends to move away with their child. Many moves are made with intentions that are good, but there are also those that are done out of spite. Our experienced family law attorneys at Rozas & Associates understand that these are difficult cases and we can help you to build a strong case by focusing on facts.
