Experienced Parental Relocation Attorneys in Franklin
20 Years of Combined Legal Experience in the Nashville, Tennessee, Area
Recent national economic challenges have accelerated the already increasing frequency of parental relocation disputes. At the Franklin, Tennessee, law firm of Brasfield and Milazo, P.C., we have kept abreast of this rapidly changing area of law and have handled numerous parental-relocation cases.
We help parents on both sides of move-away disputes, i.e. parents who wish to move and parents who wish to prevent a move. Parents who wish to move often succeed in a modification under the following circumstances:
- The custodial parent needs to move near family members to obtain help because he or she suffers from a health issue.
- The custodial parent lost a job and must relocate for a new employment opportunity or to utilize family resources.
Parents who wish to prevent a move often succeed under the following circumstances:
- By demonstrating that a child's interest will be best served by keeping him or her near a family support network, medical care or school.
- By demonstrating that a child's temperament is not conducive to a move.
Experienced in Handling Current Issues That Relocations Involve
Parental relocation cases now involve new factors ranging for the connective opportunities that social networking can provide to the question of who will pay for travel expenses once a move-away is approved.
Generally, cases boil down to Tennessee law and its provision that parents with physical custody of children can relocate to another city, state or even country unless the other parent can demonstrate that the move will "substantially harm" the child or is sought for malicious purposes. For experienced legal help on either side of a parental relocation dispute, contact us for a no-charge initial consultation.
