Dedicated Experience in Family Law on Your Side.
Covina Relocation Attorney
Information on Relocation
If you have primary custody of your child after you and your spouse have been divorced, you may not think twice about moving if a better job or opportunity arises. However, you need to be aware that there are laws in place in order to protect the family unit in the instance that one parent wants to relocate.
If you wish to relocate you may have to obtain a court order allowing you to take your child with you if you move. If your child's other parent is vehemently opposed to the relocation, there may be instances where the court will decide your child should remain with the other parent. Before risking losing custody of your child for a new job, contact a Covina divorce lawyer from my firm today. I can help you understand what your rights are, and help you follow the proper procedure for legally relocating your child.
If you wish to relocate with your child, the courts will take a close look at your situation, and assess the following:
- Why the parent wants to move (job promotion, etc.)
- The ability of the parent who is not moving to care for the child, both physically and emotionally. Would the parent be able to take on primary custody, afford to care for the child and give the child the time he or she needs?
- The benefits that a move would present to the child. Would they be living a better lifestyle, go to a better school, etc.
- The ability of the parent who is not moving to visit the child.
The courts will always act in the "best interest" of the child and this may mean denying your request to relocate your child. However, in many cases, they may grant the relocation particularly if such a move will lead to a better situation for your child.

"Mr. Eads, you are a true master in your field and I will always be available should any of your prospective clients want to contact me as a reference."Mr. Eads, you are a true master in your field.- Peter K.

"Mr. Eads worked hard for me and I am confident he will do the same for you."My ex boyfriend was very abusive. His attorney seemed to be very aggressive and was always filing Ex Parte (emergency) hearings for me to appear in court. Due to a cost issue, I attempted to handle matters myself but it seemed that I could not get my point accrues to the judge who seemed to be familiar with my ex boyfriend’s attorney. I found Mr. Eads in the phonebook and I thought I would give him a call. Mr. Eads was able to get the restraining order I was seeking and my ex boyfriend ended up paying Mr. Eads’ attorney fees. I can now feel rest-assured that my daughter and I will be safe. I also happy that I do not have to deal with my ex’s attorney anymore. Mr. Eads worked hard for me and I am confident he will do the same for you.- K.Y.

"I was barely able to make ends meet. Mr. Eads worked out a payment plan with me and reduced my arrears."I will be able to pay it off quicker and with more money left over with the payment Mr. Eads was able to negotiate for me.- John H.

"The outcome was much more than I ever expected to receive."My previous attorney failed to show up for my court date and as a result, the matter was set for trial without any input from my side. I desperately sought out an attorney but most of them wanted a huge retainer up front. I found Mr. Eads and when I went in for a consultation, I found that his retainer was more than reasonable. I also liked the fact that he practices exclusively family law and seems very familiar with the local judicial officers. I felt very comfortable with Mr. Eads in my corner going into my trial and I found that the outcome was much more than I ever expected to receive. Mr. Eads was very thorough in my case evaluation and helped me get everything I was entitled to.- J.L.

"Mr. Eads was able to help structure a settlement that allowed me to keep my business while sharing the business debts with my ex."I am a business owner and when I got divorced, I was terrified that I would lose my business. My business was also heavily leveraged against and I did not have enough capitol to sustain the business and pay my wife spousal support. My ex had an attorney who was very intimidating and kept pressuring me to liquidate the business so that I could pay his attorney’s fees. I was referred to Mr. Eads by a friend. Mr. Eads was able to help structure a settlement that allowed me to keep my business while sharing the business debts with my ex. I was also able to shorten my spousal support obligation. I really appreciate Mr. Eads professionalism and guidance during these difficult times.- J.A.

"Not only did Mr. Eads get my daughter returned to me, I was able to have full physical custody."I am honored to write this review for Mr. Eads after he helped reunify me with my daughter after my ex abducted her and moved to Arizona. I was devastated when I came home from work to find my ex had left with all our daughter’s belongings. I called the police who told me I needed to hire an attorney. I came across Mr. Eads’ website and I was impressed with his bio. I contacted him immediately and within days, we were in court requesting that my the DA Abduction unit assist me in the return of my daughter. Not only did Mr. Eads get my daughter returned to me, I was able to have full physical custody and my ex has summer and holiday visitation. Mr. Eads is truly my hero. Thanks Mr. Eads!- Paul W.
