Generally, consent or a court order is required to relocate with an unemancipated child. New Jersey child relocation court cases establish when relocation is permissible. These cases involve several factors which the court will assess before making any determinations. Depending on the specific circumstances of your family, the NJ court may ask a number of questions, including:
- What type of child custody arrangement currently exists?
- Have circumstances changed since the original child custody court order or agreement?
- Is the relocation going to be beneficial or detrimental to the child?
- Will the relocation of the child outside the State of New Jersey be detrimental to his or her relationship with the non-custodial parent?
- Has a child visitation plan been proposed if relocation is allowed?
