Frequently during marriage, parties may relocate to California due to one party’s job. However, one of the parties may later wish to relocate with their children to another state or country, either to be closer to family members or for other reasons.
The party wishing to relocate must seek an order from the court in California to allow the relocation of the children from California. The party seeking to relocate is referred to as the “Moving Parent,” and the party wishing to remain in California is referred to as the “At-Home Parent.”
Representing either the Moving Parent or the At-Home Parent requires highly specialized knowledge and expertise, which are crucial for obtaining the desired orders. Typically, the court will consider detailed information provided by a court-retained specialist, referred to as a “Custody Evaluator” in California.
Understanding the factors that the Custody Evaluator will consider in their analysis and properly addressing these factors forms the foundation for the court in issuing its final orders.
