You are probably going through an emotional time if you or your ex-spouse are trying to move out of state and children are involved. You are concerned about your future, your child's future and how this is all going to work out in the end.
Navigating your way through any legal process, whether you have sought it or not, can be frightening and overwhelming. You need information and answers about child relocation, parent relocation and modifying a Virginia child custody agreement. You want and need to know: what can I expect? Modifying a Virginia Child Custody Agreement Modifying a Virginia child custody agreement to allow parent and child relocation is no easy matter. Virginia courts are concerned specifically about the welfare of your child, not about new jobs, new significant others or new spouses. The parent who wishes to relocate must prove to the court that the child will benefit from the move.
Virginia courts will also want to be assured that there will be minimal impact to the relationship between your child and the spouse who is staying in the state. How Modifying a Virginia Child Custody Agreement Affects You
When you went through your divorce, your Virginia child custody lawyer probably discussed how you should act inside and outside of the courtroom. Now that you are involved in modifying a Virginia child custody agreement, it's time for a little review:
As much as you may be tempted to do so, don't bad-mouth your ex to your child
Do not share any fears that you may have with your child
Forget about your ex-spouse's dating life, even if extra-marital dalliances were a factor in your divorce or his new love interest factors into your child's possible relocation. You don't want to sound vindictive.
Take care of yourself emotionally during this time. This includes monitoring your alcohol consumption and abstaining from all illegal drugs.
Keep as positive an outlook as possible
Stay active
Show your child that they are loved and cared for, no matter what.
