PRACTICE INFORMATION
Relocation Cases
There are many reasons why a parent may wish to relocate, such as a better job opportunity or to be closer to other family members. Because of this, it is not uncommon for a primary residential parent to take legal action to relocate children away from the other parent.
Washington State family law says that, before a parent can relocate a child (who was previously named in a Washington State parenting plan) outside of the school district where the child resides, the relocating parent must give notice of the intended relocation to the other parent. The non-relocating parent then has the opportunity to contest the relocation.
