Relocation Archives

We live in a mobile society where it is common for a family to relocate from one state to another, across the country, or even to a different country.  Moves become much more difficult and complex in a family that has experienced a divorce, or where the parents do not reside in the same household. When one parent seeks to remove the child from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to another area of the United States or even to another country, and where the other parent does not agree with the move, the Probate and Family Courts must get involved.
