Relocation Rules in New York
Relocation is technically a roundabout way to modify child custody agreements. No matter how it concludes, one spouse will be seeing the child more often and the other spouse will experience less parenting time than before. Due to the serious impacts relocation can have on a family, including the child’s life and well-being, New York State courts will only permit relocation under certain circumstances.
If the relocating parent has primary custody, they will need to show the court their relocation is for necessary reasons, such as:
- Gainful employment opportunity
- Safety reasons or concerns
- Treating an illness (“fresh air prescription”)
- Starting a new business
Even when an important qualification is met, the child will only be relocated if the arrangement benefits them. If a child has made strong ties to other children within their community, or would be significantly upset due to spending less time with their noncustodial parent, the relocation could be denied. Divorce rules, including relocation, often come down to what is in the child’s own best interests.
