Dealing with the Stress of Relocating Your Family After a Divorce
The anxiety and burden that often plagues parents going through a divorce does not always end with finalized parenting plans. In some cases, parents can face several family law obstacles following a divorce — one of the most stressful being the relocation of children. California law associated with move away situations can be a grey area, but the “best interest of the child” is the guiding principle of the courts in all decisions regarding child custody.
You, of course, want to do what you believe is in your children’s best interests. You want to be able to provide them with the quality of life, stability and financial security they deserve. That could include uprooting them from what they know and relocating the family to a new place. So, how do you deal with the stress of relocation?
