Frequently asked

What is a child relocation agreement?

A Child Relocation Agreement is a written agreement between parents addressing a move that affects the child’s residence and parenting schedule. It typically covers the new address, relocation date, revised visitation/parenting time, transportation responsibilities, and communication rules.

Do you need court approval?

Often yes if there is an existing custody order. Many jurisdictions require court approval before a parent can relocate with a child. This template includes a “subject to court approval” clause and keeps the terms practical.

What should be included?

Include: relocation details, reasons (optional), notice timeline, revised schedule, holiday and summer time, travel arrangements and costs, virtual visitation, school and medical information sharing, and dispute resolution. This template includes all of these.

How do you handle travel costs?

Many agreements split costs based on income or move responsibility. This template includes multiple cost-splitting options and a reimbursement timeline.

What about passports and travel consent?

If interstate or international travel is involved, you may need passport rules and written travel consents. This template includes optional passport and travel consent language.
