Objecting to a Child Relocation
Start here: Child Relocation Overview
If the other parent has proposed relocating with your child, you may have the right to formally object. Objecting to a child relocation involves specific court filings and strict deadlines, and it is not the same as a routine response in a family law case.
When an objection is required
In many situations, a parent proposing to relocate serves a Notice of Intended Relocation. Sometimes that notice is filed together with additional documents similar to a parenting plan modification. In other cases, only the notice is served.
An objection may be filed whether or not the other party has already filed supporting paperwork. Because deadlines can be short, it is important to determine quickly whether an objection is necessary and what documents must be prepared.
How relocation objections differ from other cases
Objecting to a child relocation often combines elements of relocation law and parenting plan modification procedures. As a result, the required documents can be more complex than standard family law responses.
Proper preparation is important to ensure the objection is complete, filed correctly, and consistent with Washington family law requirements.
