Relocation

Long Island divorce attorneys fight for clients

Custodial parents often have no idea that one day they may want to relocate. Yet years later, they are faced with prospects of a new job, better cost of living, or other positive factors that make them want to move to Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, or Arizona. It seems that each year one in 40 of the firm's clients want to go to each of these states. We also have clients going overseas or to other USA states.  At Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C., our custody lawyers fight for our clients and their rights to custody of their children.

Most divorce custody agreements have a radius clause of 35 to 50 miles.  However, many people feel that if they have sole custody under a Family Court order, or if there is no radius clause, they can relocate without permission. Not true. You must present your case to the court under the controlling case law of Tropea v. Tropea.

Planning for your relocation

It is very important that you have a plan for the relocation, and that you present your case well to the court through an experienced attorney at Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C. so that you can prove:

• The relocation will not substantially interfere with the non-custodial parent
• It is in the best interest of the child

An experienced family law attorney can make the difference

There are very specific points of law and elements that must be met in Family Court for you to relocate. Many people attempt to go to court the first time on their own to request a relocation order. Big mistake. If you are relocating and you want to present yourself as a responsible parent, hire an attorney immediately. Speaking to one of the firm's skilled lawyers can make the difference between success and failure.

Bryan L. Salamone & Associates, P.C. has succeeded in hundreds of relocation cases. Firm attorneys have recently won relocation matters on appeal in the Appellate Division.  The firm is well-known for the ability to help clients get permission to relocate, and conversely, to stop relocation.  We know both sides of this complex and evolving legal matter.

Our recent victories have won us great notoriety in the area of relocation

By going to the Appellate Division to both propose or defeat relocations, the firm's cases have become, the law by getting local court decisions overthrown and setting new precedents. Our cases are quoted daily by judges and attorneys.

The Appellate Division, a higher court in New York, recently granted our relocation appeal on a ground-breaking decision that recognized, "economic necessity ... may present a particularly persuasive ground for permitting the proposed move." This case was presented by our founder, Bryan L. Salamone, Esq. It is reported in Appellate Division publications and used by judges to cite their opinions.
