Choose the path that matches your situation

1) Initiating a relocation (Notice of Intended Relocation)

If you are the parent who plans to move, you may need to prepare and serve a Notice of Intended Relocation. Depending on your circumstances, you may also need additional documents—especially if changes to a parenting plan or child support will be requested.

2) Objecting to a relocation

If you received a notice that the other parent intends to relocate with the child, you may have the right to object. Objections can involve strict timelines and supporting documents, and the process can be more complex than a standard response.
