These things can get complicated to understand in one go, especially while you are going through such stressful changes in life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-72b434e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"72b434e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8221b5f\" data-id=\"8221b5f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b7514a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b7514a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lucky for you,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atownlaw.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> our experienced San Luis Obispo child visitation and parenting time attorney<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you contest or assert these rights!

Without a court order, parties to a divorce are normally prohibited from relocating a minor out of the area. A custodial parent, for example, may wish to relocate the children from San Luis Obispo. Child visitation <a href=\"\/careers\/family-law-attorney\/\">attorneys at 805 Law<\/a> Group can assist you in making specific arrangements to maintain regular and ongoing contact.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modifying the visitation agreement due to relocation is common. If you are the non-custodial parent and your child will be living farther from you or you are the custodial parent who will move away, it may be necessary to modify the visitation agreement to accommodate this. Modifications may include extended visitation periods during school breaks, a regular schedule for calls to maintain contact, and establishing who should carry the burden of transportation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned prior, it is usually in your best interest to solve any disagreements during mediation. Custody battles are usually expensive. It can also take an emotional toll on your children as your dirty laundry is exposed to the public.
