Our attorneys have decades of experience in family law and are well attuned to the local customs in Alabama's courts. This is especially true in the field of domestic relations law, which has gone through great changes in recent years. For example, not so long ago it was almost inconceivable for a father to gain joint custody, much less sole custody, of his children. This is not necessarily the situation that exists today. In Alabama today all parents who have participated in the care of their children have an equal opportunity to gain custodial participation in the lives of their children.
If child custody and support are your concern, turn to a lawyer you can trust, someone who is up-to-date on the law and will protect not only your child's best interests but your best interests, too.

"Move Away" or Relocating Child Custody Cases
Divorced parents with custodial rights are required to do certain things before moving away, to be in compliance with state law.
Under the Alabama Parent-Child Relationship Protection Act, a custodial parent must give written notice to the non-custodial parent at least 45 days in advance before moving more than 60 miles away or moving out of state. If the parent who is not moving objects, he or she then has 30 days to request a court hearing.
