Child Custody & Move Away Situations

Chicago, Schaumburg, Northbrook, and Wheaton Child Custody Attorneys

Removal or "Move-Away" Situations

A child custody decree is rarely a final statement of where and with whom children of divorced parents will live out their lives. People and circumstances change. For family, personal or business reasons, a divorced parent may need to seek a change in a child custody agreement in order to move out of state.

  • An elderly parent may need care.
  • A business transfer may be unavoidable.
  • A remarriage of either parent can bring a new spouse's business into the family.

To discuss your child custody issues when a mother or father proposes a change in child custody and visitation because of plans to move out of town, contact a family law attorney at Anderson & Associates, P.C., in DuPage or Cook County.

The Child's Interests Come First

Your child's wellbeing comes first in the eyes of the law. Parental rights are precious. The courts may not give approval for your plan to take your child out of state if you are a parent with primary custody. Sensitive negotiations, mediation or litigation may be necessary to come to an agreement or a decision on how to proceed when you wish to take your child out of state or prevent your ex-spouse from doing so.

Anderson & Associates, P.C., is a well-established family law firm with offices in Chicago, Wheaton and Schaumburg, Illinois. Our lawyers are strong advocates and knowledgeable counselors. We understand the urgency that one or both parents may face when distance threatens parental bonds. While child removal or move away cases are never easy, our attorneys have successfully represented the interests of many parents in such scenarios.
