Successfully Represented Each Side of Parental Relocation Disputes
When you and your spouse first divorced, a parenting plan was Ordered by the Court. This plan details how you and the other parent will care for your children. When the other parent wants to relocate with the children, it creates legal and emotional complications for both parents. While the legal system addresses the rights of a parent who is relocating with primary custody and the non-residential parent differently it is important to get an attorney involved immediately upon learning that you or the other parent are likely to relocate. The law imposes very strict (and short) deadlines for you to act. Failure to properly follow the relocation statutes prevents you from having the protection that they would otherwise provide.

Tennessee’s Parental Relocation Laws
The parental relocation statute in Tennessee applies when one parent wants to move the parties’ minor child out of the state or more than 50 miles from the other parent’s home. This is an area that MUST be addressed within a very short timeframe by each parent, and either parent can lose significant rights if they fail to take the steps mandated by the statute and the case law that has interpreted it.
Because the court takes a number of factors into consideration in parental relocation cases, and because of the very technical nature of the statutes, it is critical to speak with an attorney who has an in-depth understanding of the law.
