Northern Virginia Child Custody Relocation Attorney   

Fairfax County Parental Rights Lawyer 

The courts understand that things change in parents' lives. New financial circumstances and personal relationships and other factors often justify a need for a custodial parent to move out of state with a child. When a child relocation request is made through the family law courts, the laws of Virginia are clear that both parents have rights. Unfortunately, when it comes to child relocation issues, parents' emotions, fears, and old feelings of distrust often resurface to trump common sense and what is truly best for the child.
