Courts carefully evaluate the impact of the proposed move on the child’s relationship with each parent, including visitation opportunities and the child’s stability.
They also consider the reasons for relocation, the parent’s reasons for opposing or supporting the move, and the overall best interests of the child under Missouri law.
Generally, a parent requires either the consent of the other parent or a court order to relocate with a child if there is an existing custody agreement.
Moving without legal authorization can lead to legal consequences, including custody modifications or contempt proceedings.
