What You NEED to Know Before Your Move Out of State With Your Child
By Ellen Wright
Moving to another state is complicated and stressful, even in the best circumstances. For divorced parents, however, this already intense process can turn into a horror show without proper planning. While Massachusetts doesn’t strictly prohibit parents from moving out of state, you won’t be able to take your child with you unless your ex agrees to it or you’ve got permission from the Court. Relocation of a parent in a child custody matter is a complex area of Massachusetts child custody law and many parents are unaware of the rules around it. If you move without ensuring you are 100% compliant, the consequences could be disastrous.
