Can I move out of New York with my child if I have custody?
Call now: 516-660-4354
Not automatically. Custody alone doesn’t let you move if it cuts into the other parent’s time. You need the other parent’s written consent, ideally made part of a modified order, or the court’s permission. A judge may weigh your reasons, your child’s relationships, and whether a realistic schedule keeps the other parent involved, as explained on our relocation page. I’ve guided Suffolk County parents on both sides of these moves. Learn how to request a modification before you pack.
Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
