Parent Relocation Requests — Effects on Custody and Visitation

When a parent seeks to relocate and take the child(ren) with him or her, there are specific notice requirements to the other parent and to the court. Given the drastic effects that a move could have on a child, Oregon courts do not take this issue lightly. Some of the many factors that the courts will examine include:

• Established relationship with both parents: Will the child be able to maintain the current relationship that he or she has with both parents?
• Factors/reason for moving: Does the reason for moving benefit the child? What is in his or her best interests?
• Child's relationship with other family: Will the move affect the child's established relationship with other family members such as aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins?
