Sample Child Custody Relocation Letter

A Child Custody Relocation Letter is a formal document drafted by one parent of a child and sent to the other to discuss the upcoming relocation of the child. Typically prepared by the parent who has primary custody of the child, this statement will give both parents time to negotiate the most important custody issues such as visitation, communication of the child and the parent while they are away from each other, and financial responsibilities of the non-custodial parent.
