If you are recently divorced, you may be itching for a fresh start and perhaps a location change. Before moving to a new state, consider these three things:
1. Make Sure You are Prepared
Making a move to another state after divorce may feel like the most life changing things you have done in a while, and it probably is! Although do not let that hold you back if you are making the right decision. Follow these four steps to prepare your budget before the big move:
· Do research to find out living costs in your future location
· Calculate how much you will be able to afford
· Think about what you will need to purchase
· Build your budget
2. Get Your Children Ready for the Move and Make Sure You Will Not be in Violation of any Custody and Parenting Time Orders from the Court
One of the most challenging aspects of moving to another state is moving the children. Not only will you have to prepare your children, but you will also have to work with the court to legally make this move. You should hire an experienced attorney in New Jersey to make sure the process runs smoothly and effectively. When making this move, make sure that you are keeping your child’s thoughts and feelings in mind. Make sure that they know they can openly speak with you about their thoughts and feelings.
