Custody

Updated:

If I move to a new state, can I transfer my child custody case there?

After you get a final custody order, there may come a time when you and your children move to a different state. You can learn about transferring a custody case to a different state on our website.

Keep in mind that parents often need to get permission from a judge or the other parent to move out of state with their children. Therefore, it’s important to talk to a lawyer before you move. A lawyer can help you make sure your plans to move don’t violate your custody order or your state’s parental kidnapping laws.
