A Long-Distance Relationship With Your Child

Finding Resolution in Child Relocation Cases

At Johnston, Root & Leibenguth, P.C., we recognize that today's society is mobile. One parent may have a new job that pays a significantly higher salary. Another parent may be moving back to his or her home state to be closer to the emotional and financial support of a family.

No matter what the circumstances may be in the child relocation, a move in Oregon of over 60 miles necessitates aggressive representation from an attorney to work out the disputes and modify the child support and custody arrangements.

Aggressive Representation and Detailed Gathering of the Facts

As with any divorce-related legal matter that involves children, their best interests are placed first. Our attorneys understand that the development stage of a child may impact how he or she may adapt to a move that separates the child from one parent and a group of friends.

Our job is to get to the motivation behind the proposed move and what is best for the children. Such a vital issue should ideally be mediated, but we will not hesitate to litigate the child relocation matter in court.
