Newport Beach Interstate Custody Attorneys Helping Resolve Interstate Custody Issues

Child custody is often the most contentious part of all divorce proceedings. When it involves relocation out of state, this can become an even more emotionally charged situation.

This is why many parents wonder about the possibility of interstate custody, and what to do about it if their ex-spouse decides to move away to another state with their children. 

Then, there are those who want to know if they can move out of state with their kids, get their current out-of-state kids back to California or prevent their ex-partner from relocating with the children. 

Some people know this, and try to use this to get the children away from their ex. If you’re currently in this dilemma and resident in Newport Beach, you need the help of competent and experienced interstate custody lawyers in Newport Beach.

Enforcing visitation rights in interstate custody issues is an incredibly difficult task. This in part, is due to state-focused legislation regarding child custody. If a parent moves out of California for example, the child custody laws in California may not be applicable to them.

Then, there’s the very real problems of distance and safety. Even if you have visitation rights, it’s only a matter of time before you reduce the frequency of traveling for hours to see your children. Some ex-partners are counting on this to actually cut you out of your children’s lives. The good thing is you can actually fight it with the right legal team.   

Does California Allow Interstate Custody Arrangements?

In California, there are no firm regulations about interstate custody. The courts only assess every case, and gives their verdicts based on their unique situation.

At the end of the day, the court’s priority is the child’s well-being. So, if the court, based on the evidence it’s presented, thinks an interstate custody arrangement would be best for the kid, chances are they’ll give the verdict.

The courts will weigh the appellant’s interstate custody request, their reasons for relocation, and the interests of the child. It will then make its determination based on those factors. If the relocation would ultimately benefit the child, the courts will most likely grant the appellant’s request –often with a clause that allows for a modification of the current child custody arrangements.
