International relocations can complicate custody arrangements, impacting visitation and communication. To maintain fairness, ensure your custody agreement addresses travel logistics, time zones, and communication methods. It’s crucial to work with legal professionals experienced in international custody matters to draft a clear, enforceable plan that serves your child’s best interests.

It is impossible to maintain 50/50 custody in any reality.

I am sorry to say that you are basically abandoning your child by moving abroad, so you should prepare for the results that may cause emotional challenges to the child and yourself.

I don’t think this is what you want for your child, and you should consider other options personally.

Approximately 180 school days, or over half of the 365 days in a year, are observed in most states. Having every day off from school be with you would be the only way to even come close to 50/50. It would be unjust to deny the other parent any weekends or holidays with the child. Furthermore, if there is any plane travel involved, the quantity of trip required would be absurd. Regretfully, it is unlikely that you will receive even half of the child’s time.
