Virginia Beach Child Relocation Attorneys
Committed to Helping You Relocate with Your Child
Life is constantly changing and, if you are no longer with your co-parent and wish to relocate with your child, you are free to leave to state. However, until you have resided in the new state for the time it takes to establish residency, Virginia will continue to be your primary residence. Therefore, if your co-parent disagrees with the relocation, they may file for custody, ultimately forcing you and your child to reside in Virginia.
At The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller in Virginia Beach, our experienced legal team can assist you with this process. Whether you are trying to relocate with your child or you are trying to keep your child in the state, you can rely on us to help you.

Relocating with Your Child
If you and your ex are in disagreement regarding your relocation with the children, matters can get a little complicated, which is why legal representation is essential. As is the case with any child custody case, whether or not a judge grants a proposed relocation depends on the child’s best interests.
Below is a list of factors a judge will consider:
- The age of the child
- The physical and mental condition of the child
- The needs of the child
- Each parent’s relationship with the child
- The preference of the child (if the child is mature enough)
- The role each parent had and will continue to play in raising the child
- The willingness of each parent to help facilitate one another’s relationship with the child
- A history of abuse
- Other factors the court believes may be pertinent to rendering a decision
If the court does not believe the proposed relocation serves the best interests of the child, you will have to bring your child back to the state if you already relocated. Moreover, the terms of your child custody agreement may change.

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!

Mr. James Weaver and his team are true professionals. From the start, he was honest and straightforward. He always stayed positive with me and kept me calm when I thought everything was going horrible. Mr. Weaver got me the best outcome possible in my situation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.- S. Bohrer
I hired Mr. Weaver for my family law issues. -
I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens
