Fairfax Parent Relocation Lawyer

Virginia Custody Relocation Lawyer

When circumstances change after divorce, initial determinations may need to be modified. In Northern Virginia especially, there are many mobile military and government families. If you are a divorced parent with concerns that include military child custody law, my law firm can help you. At the law firm of Michael A. Ward, P.C., Attorney at Law, I represent parents who are seeking relocation and parents who wish to prevent relocations.

Talk to a Fairfax parent relocation attorney who can protect the best interests of your children. Call me at 703-763-0896 for skilled assistance based on more than 30 years of experience. I can meet with you at my Northern Virginia office in Fairfax or my Central Virginia/Lynchburg-area office in Forest.

Helping Military Families, Government Families and Civilian Families

Parent relocation can be one of the most contentious issues between parents. Initial determinations of child custody and support are based on the circumstances at that time. When child custody modifications are granted, it is because there has been a significant change in material circumstance. Modifications are only granted if doing so is in the best interests of the children.

If you want to relocate your children, or if you are against a relocation, you need an attorney who can articulate why the move would be (or not be) in the best interests of your children.

In doing so, my law firm will explore the following questions and issues:

  • To what extent does the relocation affect the non-custodial parent's relationship with the children?
  • Is it possible to continue a close parent-child relationship?
  • What is the reason for the relocation? New job? Job transfer? Marriage? Financial circumstances?
  • Are the reasons for the relocation valid?

Each relocation case is fact driven. I can fully examine the facts of your case and advocate for your interests as well as the best interests of your children.

My law firm strives to protect your parental rights and obtain the outcome that serves you and your children well. Call me at 703-763-0896 or contact me online to schedule your consultation.
