Franklin Relocation Attorney

During the hearing, I will help you address what Tennessee state law views as substantially affecting a child’s wellbeing so as to defend your decision to move with your family or fight to prevent your child from moving away with their other parent. The court will consider several factors before coming to a decision, including:

• The relationship between the child and the relocating and nonrelocating parent
• The relationship between the child and other people relocating or not relocating
• The age and needs of the child
• The expected effects on the child emotionally, educationally, physically, or in any other way
• The ability of the parents to ensure the child can maintain a relationship between the child and non-relocating parent
• The child’s preference if they are older than 12
• The potential benefits and enrichment opportunities that relocation offers

Our Franklin relocation attorney will help you create a compelling argument for your case to fight for you and your child.

Other Considerations for Relocation

Tennessee requires the relocating parent to give notice to the non-relocating parent in any case where they are moving either outside of the state or farther than 50 miles away. The parents may then collaborate on a new visitation schedule amongst themselves. If they fail to reach a sound agreement, however, either parent may file an objection and rely on the court to handle the modification of their permanent parenting plan.
