A:
Yes, a judge can reconsider or reverse a decision regarding a move away, even after two years. However, the process can be complex and depends on the specific circumstances of your case. Factors such as the reasons for the move, the impact on the child, and any changes in circumstances since the original decision will be taken into account.
To initiate this process, you would typically need to file a petition with the court explaining why the move should be reconsidered. It's important to provide clear evidence that the change serves the best interests of the child. The other parent will have the opportunity to respond, and the court may hold hearings to fully understand both sides.
Navigating these legal proceedings can be challenging, so seeking advice from a family law attorney can be very helpful. They can guide you through the necessary steps and help present your case effectively to the court.
