If I Have Primary Physical Joint Custody, Would I Have A Good Chance Of Getting Custody To Move Out Of State? Secondary Parent Is Behind On Child Support Payments And Is Inconsistent With Holding A Job.
Primary physical custody does not always guarantee that parent will be able to relocate out of the state. The Court will consider lack of financial support but more importantly
- whether the relocation will be detrimental to the relationship with the parent being left and
- whether there is an independent benefit to the child with the relocation.
Lack of financial assistance, lack of consistent contact, and the circumstances surrounding the relocation will be evaluated.
