You cannot just move away with your child if there is an existing child custody agreement, especially if you are moving out of state. A modification to the custody agreement must be requested and approved by the family court judge. The best interests of the child must be determined before any action to move the child is taken. You could be held in contempt of court for violating an existing court custody order if you relocate a child without completing the required process. It’s always best to discuss your situation with an attorney before making any plans to move.
Most lawyers charge an hourly rate for family law services. In some cases, an attorney may charge a flat fee for a specific service. You may also be asked to pay a retainer fee in advance, depending on the complexity of your case. Costs depend on many factors, such as the time your attorney spends on your case, the complexity of the issues, and the filing fees and other court expenses. Your attorney may be able to suggest ways that you can minimize your costs by taking some simple measures while your case is pending.
Joint legal custody refers to both parents sharing the major decisions affecting the child, which can include school, health care, and religious training. Other joint legal custody considerations may include extracurricular activities, summer camp, age for dating or getting a job, and methods of discipline.
