While parents have the right to relocate, taking their minor children with them is another matter. These types of cases are called removal cases, and they are some of the most difficult cases for families as well as family law practitioners. If the proper measures for relocating a child are not followed, the transgressing parent may be held in contempt of court, which can lead to fines or jail time. As such, it is imperative to follow the correct channels before moving with a child to another state, another area in the same state, or even another country.
Join the experts as we look at what happens when a parent wants to relocate with minor children-whether from Massachusetts to another state or from one location in Massachusetts to another, as well as what can be done to stop removal.
