In today’s mobile society, many parents must relocate for the sake of their careers, to attend an institution of higher learning or for other legitimate purposes. However, a parent cannot simply relocate with a child to another state without the permission of the parent or court if that parent has custodial or parent plan rights.

Enforcing Out-Of-State Family Law Orders In Utah
If you are covered by a family law order issued in another state, David Pedrazas can register the order in Utah court. This provides a measure of protection regarding enforcement of the orders. Let’s illustrate this through a typical scenario: You live in another state and you have an existing child custody, parenting time or child support order in your state. If the other parent moves to Utah with your child, we can represent you, seeking to enforce the order.
Foreign Child Custody Disputes
The Hague Convention enables parents to enforce child custody orders across borders in some cases. If the parent of your child has taken him or her to a foreign country that is a member of the Hague Convention, we can represent you seeking to enforce the order. If your child now lives in Utah and the child custody order was issued in a Hague Convention nation, we can also represent you. These cases can take some time to resolve, so you should obtain legal representation as soon as possible.
