Mobility After Divorce

Child custody determination is one of the most
difficult issues facing courts today. Custody and
access decisions are especially challenging when one
parent wishes to relocate with the child to another
geographic area, leaving the other parent behind. The
legal community often seeks the expertise of
mental-health professionals when deciding children s
best interests for custody; however, information
regarding mobility assessment is particularly
limited. This book offers tangible guidelines to
which assessment professionals may refer as they make
recommendations in relocation cases. Review of
established divorce literature identifies the
developmental needs of children following separation
and/or divorce, making this book a valuable resource
for assessors, counsellors, and parents wishing to
support the best interests of children involved in
mobility cases.
