Moran has recently obtained a court victory in Iberville Parish, Louisiana for a mother who was trying relocate to California with her minor child.

It is typically very difficult for a parent who is seeking a relocation with a child to win his or her case. In fact, many attorneys even view it as a losing battle. This, however, did not stop Attorney Moran from reaching a positive outcome for her client, whom she represented in a trial. Relocation is generally a heated issue for parents who share custody of their children. It can also be heated issue in cases in which one parent has sole custody and the other parent has visitation rights. This is due to the fact that the custodial parent’s relocation to another state will usually interfere with the other parent’s ability to spend time with the child. In order for a custodial parent to be successful in his or her relocation case, that parent must be able to prove to the court that the benefits of the move on the child’s life outweigh the harm caused to the other parent.

Under Louisiana’s statutes, a relocation is considered to be a move of the child to another state or a move of the child to a new residence that is more than 75 miles away from his or her previous primary residence. If there was previously no official child custody order established between the parents, a relocation is defined as a move of the child outside the state or to a new residence that is more than 75 miles away from the other parent who does not intend to move. The burden of proof in these types of cases lies with the parent who is seeking a relocation.
