Statute provides that a relocating parent must provide 90 days notice to the non-relocating parent and to the court for you to move out-of-area. The area can be moving out-of-state or in-state depending on the distance. However, if you need to move immediately and not able to meet the Maryland relocation statute, you as the relocation parent how this affect your children will be determined by the court. The relocating parent must provide reason for the immediate relocation like financial emergency.

The non-relocating parent can file an objection with regards to the relocating parent. The court will focus on the best interest of the child.

Whether relocation will affect the welfare of your children, the court will look at the following criteria and other factors:

• The children’s wishes
• The children’s age, health, and sex
• The reputation, fitness, and character of each parent
• How their home will affect access
• The residences of each parent
