Navigating issues of parental relocation, especially in the context of child custody, requires experienced legal guidance to ensure the best interests of the child are upheld.

As a seasoned Divorce Lawyer in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Christopher Drouillard brings over 30 years of expertise in handling complex family legal cases, including change of domicile matters.

Understanding Change of Domicile

A change of domicile occurs when a parent with physical custody intends to move the child more than 100 miles from their current residence. This decision can significantly impact the child’s life and the dynamics between both parents. Key points to consider include:

Legal Implications

In cases where there is a joint custodial order, the parent wishing to relocate must seek court approval if the other parent objects. This process involves legal proceedings where both parties have the right to representation and a hearing before a judge makes a decision.

Impact on Parent-Child Relationship

Relocation can potentially disrupt the non-moving parent’s regular visitation and contact with the child, affecting their ongoing relationship. Finding a balanced solution that considers the child’s best interests is crucial.
