Petitions to Remove Children From Massachusetts

At the time of divorce or years later, a parent may want to move to another state or country. Sometimes it is for financial or emotional reasons, such as a parent who wants to back to a hometown to be closer to friends and family. Other situations include a remarriage or job advancement that requires relocation to another state or country. If there is no written agreement between the parents, a court order must be obtained to allow a child to move with a parent out of Massachusetts. A judicial decision is based on a complex analysis that oftentimes involves the appointment of an investigator, such as a guardian ad litem (or GAL).
