Child Custody Relocation Lawyer Serving PA & NJ Families

Relocating with a child after separation or divorce can be one of the most contested custody issues

Parents often move for better job opportunities, family support, or new beginnings — but relocation impacts custody and requires court approval. At The Law Office of David Garnes, we represent both parents seeking to move and those opposing relocation.

What Courts Consider in Relocation Cases

The reason for the move (employment, education, family support)

The impact on the child’s relationship with the non-relocating parent

The child’s educational, emotional, and social needs

The feasibility of maintaining meaningful parenting time

Our Approach

We present strong evidence to demonstrate how the move benefits your child — or, if you are

opposing, how it would harm your parental relationship. Each case is unique, and we tailor our

strategy to your goals.
