Parental Relocations & Modifications

Houston Texas Family Law Attorney

Houston Parental Relocation Modification Lawyer

At our Houston, Texas, family law offices of Law Offices of Barbara Lynch Schnack, P.C., we realize what a "hot topic" that parental relocation has become throughout our state. We recognize that post-divorce life brings many changes, and that relocating for professional or personal reasons is sometimes part of the change. While these changes are normal and not unexpected, all sorts of difficulties can result when a parent leaves the geographical area where the children reside, or when the primary custodial parent desires to move away. The children are often placed into emotional turmoil and the custody and visitation arrangements so careful crafted between the parents can fall into disarray.

If this situation has happened to you and you need legal issues related to long-distance parenting resolved by a successful, sympathetic family law attorney, contact us today to arrange an initial consultation.

You can benefit from our law firm's reputation for experience, professionalism and compassion in devising creative solutions for this unfortunate occurrence, or any other spontaneous family law dilemma requiring modifications in a divorce settlement. We've been of major assistance to Texas families along these lines since 1994.

Experienced, Professional and Compassionate Relocation Legal Advice

We make a point of staying abreast of changing or updated family law statutes, the Texas Family Code and we can advise you as to other legal alternatives. An example of these alternatives includes domicile restriction, which restricts a child's residence to a specific city or state.

We also can suggest a number of ways to make the long-distance co-parenting role less difficult. Any frequent combination of regular telephone or e-mail contact, occasional travel and streamed computer video images could help an out-of-state or out-of-country parent maintain a role in a child's life.

We share with you the dual desire for a healthy family environment and stable relationships for your child in light of the relocated parent's absence. These goals would be reflected in any settlement revision or modification we propose. We can also refer you to a financial advisor or mental health professional if that input could assuage a child's fears of being without the missing parent.

Whatever the specifics of our close coordination with you, we want to help resolve this difficult family law problem for you as best we can. Be in touch with our law offices to find out more about how we can help.
