What happens When Divorced Parents Relocate?
2
Shared parenting is difficult enough, but when
one parent chooses to relocate to another part of
the country, it becomes increasingly complex and
frustrating. The logistics of sharing a child
when you live far apart can make what is likely
an already tense situation even worse. The good
news is that unless your Custody and Parent Time
order includes pre-arranged regulations that
apply for relocation, you can at least have your
opinion heard on the matter.

Notice Of Relocation
Utah law has a process that must be followed
when there is no previous order regarding parent
relocation. The first step that either moving
parent has to take before moving 150 miles away
or farther from the other parent is to file a
Notice of Relocation. This must be filed at least
60 days prior to the move and must be sent to the
other parent.

Motion For Orders Regarding Relocation
If the other parent doesnt agree with the
terms of the Notice for Relocation, then he/she
can ask the court to review the notice. To do
this, a Motion for Orders Regarding Relocation
must be filed with the court.

It is important to note that when a parent
relocates to another state, the issues that arise
can be complicated by the fact that the state of
Utah may not have jurisdiction over the matter.
For this reason, it is a wise move to check with
Emy A Cordano a Salt Lake City child custody
attorney at once as soon as you learn of the move
(or if youre the moving parent, prior to the
move) so that you can determine where
jurisdiction lies and where paperwork must be
filed.
