Can I Move Out of State With My 6 Year Old Daughter?

Q: “I live in NY, her father lives 2 1/2 hours away in NJ, he currently owes $13,778 ($72 Weekly) in child support, he sees her every other weekend from 6pm Fri to 1pm Sunday. I have family in Florida who can help me with my daughter, my mother who helps me now would also like to move to Florida and is only in NY to help me…”

A: There are numerous factors which are considered in a relocation case. At the least, if the father disagrees with the move, you’ll need to file a modification petition with the Family Court.

You should also call a Bronx Child Custody attorney to schedule a consult with a full assessment.
