Dallas Relocation Lawyers
Helping Children Relocate in TX
There are many reasons a parent may choose to move away, including a job opportunity, a life event, or a new relationship. This can cause some issues when parents are divorced, and they share child custody. If your custody order has a geographic restriction, you will need to file for relocation and petition the court to have the restriction lifted or modified.
At Mueller Family Law, our Dallas relocation attorneys will work with you to defend your parental rights throughout your move-away case and ensure your child has the tools to thrive during and after your case.

How Does Relocating with Custody Work in TX?
Nothing under Texas law specifically sets a geographic distinction for what constitutes a relocation. Typically in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex, the court considers relocation as a parent attempting to move to a city or location outside DFW and the contiguous counties with their child.
You can legally relocate with your child by:
- Reaching an agreement with the child's other parent or guardian. If the child's other parent or guardian agrees that relocating serves the child's best interests, both parties can testify as such in court. Courts typically approve agreed relocations quickly.
- Disputing the relocation in court. If the other party does not agree with the need for relocation, you will need to file a move-away case with the court. Both parties will have a chance to present evidence to the court, and the judge can make a final decision.
