Missouri courts evaluate several factors including the child’s best interests, the reasons for relocation, and the impact on the non-relocating parent’s relationship with the child.
The court also reviews the child’s adjustment to home, school, and community, and the feasibility of preserving custody or visitation arrangements post-relocation.
In Missouri, a parent typically needs court approval or the other parent’s consent to relocate with a child if there is a custody order in place.
Relocating without permission may lead to legal challenges and modifications to custody arrangements to protect the child’s best interests.
An attorney guides you through legal procedures, helps gather evidence, represents your interests in negotiations, and advocates for your rights in court if necessary.
They also provide advice tailored to your family’s circumstances to minimize conflict and reach the most favorable agreement.
Missouri courts often encourage or require mediation to resolve disputes amicably before proceeding to trial in parental relocation matters.
Mediation allows parents to discuss issues with professional guidance, leading to more cooperative arrangements and less emotional stress for children.
If a court denies relocation, the parent must comply with the current custody arrangements and cannot move the child without further court approval.
Parents may request future modifications if circumstances change, but relocating against court orders can result in legal penalties.
Visitation schedules may be adjusted to accommodate distance changes, including expanded holiday or summer visitation periods or virtual visitation options.
