Relocation Issues in Child Custody Cases

What's changed over the past several decades? Parents are quite mobile. Mothers are working more and continue to be active participants in the lives of their children. Fathers are more involved in the daily aspects of co-parenting and working. In divorce cases, both are asserting their parental rights. The result is seemingly insurmountable conflict. Judges, attorneys, child custody evaluators, mediators, mental health professionals, and public policymakers often need help to resolve what can be highly contentious issues. Relocation Issues in Child Custody Cases offers a firsthand look at how evaluators investigate relocation questions and make recommendations; how judges reach decisions based on those recommendations; and how individual states deal with relocation cases.
