The Missouri Relocation Process

Generally, the process for relocating when you’re part of a co-parenting agreement involves notifying the other parent of your intentions, giving them a chance to respond or object, and then clearing the move with the courts. This process could take some time, so if you find out you do need to move in a limited amount of time, you must not delay.

The relocation process is as follows:

  • Serve notice to your spouse (at least 60 days prior, including the reason for the move and terms for a new visitation schedule)
  • Give your spouse at least 30 days to respond
  • Attend a hearing to work out the differences (if necessary)

When you need to relocate, the courts will always need to keep your constitutional rights in balance along with the best interests of the children involved. If the move would provide additional benefits to children, then the move will be more likely to be approved. If it wouldn’t, then there’s a chance your request to relocate could be denied.
