The answer is no. The former spouse, has rights with regards to access. Those rights have to be taken into account. However, there are grounds that would make it okay to bring your child with you if you did decide to move.
As an experienced Buffalo Divorce Lawyer, I would say to first sit down with the other party and see if you can work out an agreement. If you can’t do that, you have to be able to articulate circumstances for the court as to why it is in the best interest of the child, that you be allowed to relocate. The courts are only going to be interested in what’s in the best interest of the child.
The court is going to take a look at the overall view of the circumstances for the parties to see if it’s practical for the child to relocate. The court will look at things like the child’s age, and education in determining whether or not relocation is in the child’s best interest.
