Factors That Play a Role in Parental Relocation Cases

When courts in Rhode Island are making decisions on parental relocation cases, they must consider the following factors:

• The nature, quality, duration, and extent of involvement each parent has had with the child
• The reasonable likelihood that relocation will enhance the general quality of life for both the child and the parent seeking relocation
• The probable impact that relocation will have on the child's physical, educational, and emotional development
• The feasibility of preserving the relationship between the non-relocating parent and child through suitable visitation arrangements, considering the logistics and financial circumstances of the parties
• The existence of extended family or other support systems available to the child in both locations
• Each parent's reasons for seeking or opposing the relocation
• Wishes of the parents
• Preferences of the children
• Relationships between the children and their parents
• Children's adjustment to home, school, and community
• Mental health of the children and parents
• Stability of the home
• Moral fitness of the parents
• Willingness and ability of the parents to keep the parent/child relationships intact
