We seek amicable solutions through negotiation or mediation to avoid prolonged litigation whenever possible, prioritizing cooperative outcomes.
If necessary, we provide thorough representation in court to advocate effectively on your behalf while keeping communication clear and supportive.
Missouri courts evaluate the best interests of the child, including the reason for the move, the child’s relationship with each parent, and the impact on custody and visitation.
They also consider each parent’s ability to encourage a continuing relationship with the other parent and the child’s adjustment to home, school, and community.
While not always required, having legal representation can help clarify your rights and ensure that custody adjustments comply with state laws and protect your parental relationships.
An attorney can assist in negotiations, mediate disputes, or advocate for you in court if relocation becomes contested.

Relocation can impact custody arrangements, but courts aim to preserve meaningful relationships with both parents where possible.
