If you are relocating, you will probably need to make modifications of your present child custody and visitation plan. Attorney Linda N. Risinger has 25 years of divorce litigation experience, and knows many of the key players by name.
The law in Texas is quite clear. Children have the right to be with both parents, and the courts put their interests first, over the interests of either parent. This presumption works well when both spouses reside in the same town. But what recourse do you have if your new job takes you halfway across the country?
We take the time to learn your case well, and look for negotiating points. You may, for example, wish to relocate to the United Kingdom, where your parents reside. Your former spouse is understandably alarmed about the high cost of travel for visitation. In a case like this, we can help you work out an agreement where the long-distance parent enjoys longer visits with the child in exchange for reduced or zero child support payments. When long-distance travel is involved, we are sure to explain those costs to the judge in revisiting child custody and support arrangements.
The courts are open to flexible solutions, as long as they put the interests of the children first. A Web Cam may be helpful in sharing time with your child between court-ordered visits.
