Family Law and Modification Legal Help in Irvine, California

Do you want to move away? Do you wish to prevent your ex-spouse from moving away with your children? Move aways before and after divorce bring additional challenges to what are often already complex situations. For parents who wish to move away, it is essential that the move be approved. Reasons for approval can include:

  • Living closer to supportive family members
  • A better school system
  • A new job
  • Extracurricular opportunities for a child

For parents who wish to prevent a move away, it can be equally essential to block the relocation in order to retain a strong relationship with the child or children.

At the Law Offices of Hollie Lemkin we focus our practice exclusively in helping families and in protecting the best interests of children in the Irvine and Newport Beach, California area. We work with clients both during and after divorce, and with people on both sides of move-away disputes.

We can handle statutory notification requirements, revisit child custody orders and represent clients in hearings that address questions that include:

  • Why is one party interested in moving?
  • How will the child benefit?
  • How will the child's relationship be affected with the remaining parent?
  • Would the child's new community and living environment be healthy and acceptable?

In California there is voluminous case law regarding move aways/relocations. To effectively protect your rights as either a moving or remaining parent, it is important to work with a caring, knowledgeable and effective family law advocate.
