Moving And Modifications In Texas

Circumstances such as a career change or other life changes can present a need for a parent to relocate. If custody is established, a parent must formally apply for relocation before taking his or her child with him or her. The courts will look at a number of different factors.

The most important factor is whether or not the move is in the best interests of the child. Other factors the courts will look at include:

  • Age of child
  • Relationships that the child has already made and how the move will affect
    him or her
  • Reason for the move
  • Proximity to other family members and friends
  • Educational opportunities
  • Opportunity for extracurricular advancements because of the move
