Phoenix Relocation Attorney

Gillespie, Shields & Durrant

After parents choose to divorce, legally separate or split up, one of the parents may decide that he/she would like to move out of state or relocate.  When this happens, the other parent may have objections, especially if the parent who wishes to relocate has sole custody of their children.  The other parent may also have objections because the move differs from child custody plans both parents had originally agreed upon. 

In cases involving relocation and child custody, the family courts may have to intervene.  In some cases, the parent who is not moving may ask the courts to issue a preliminary injunction.  Preliminary injunctions prevent people from engaging in a certain acts until court rulings are made.  For example, if a parent wishes to relocate and a preliminary injunction is issued, the parent would not be allowed to move until all court judgments had been made.  All things must remain status quo until rulings are made in court.
