Legal Help for Child Relocation and Custody Disputes in Greater Boston.

Experienced Greater Boston Child Removal Attorney: Protecting Your Parental Rights in Difficult Times

Are you planning to move out of Massachusetts with your child, or trying to stop your co-parent from doing the same? If so, you may need an attorney experienced in filing removal cases who can help you understand your rights and what the law allows.

In Massachusetts, child removal (or child relocation) refers to one parent wanting to relocate a child out of the state, often after a divorce or when custody is shared. A move like this can change how much time a child spends with each parent and affect their relationship in lasting ways. Because of what’s at stake, Massachusetts law sets strict rules on when and if removal may be permitted.

Child removal cases are often heavily disputed, and in such instances, each party has to make a strong case to support its position. That’s where we come in. 

At Peridot Family Law, LLC, we represent parents on both sides , those seeking to relocate and those trying to keep their child close. We understand how emotional and legally demanding these cases can be. Our goal is to protect your bond with your child and help you make smart, informed choices at every step.

If you’re dealing with a child removal dispute, we’re here to help you explore your options and fight for what matters most — your relationship with your child.

1. What is removal (deportation) in U.S. immigration law?

Removal refers to the formal process by which the U.S. government seeks to remove a non-citizen from the United States based on violations of immigration law or certain criminal convictions.

2. How does someone receive a Notice to Appear (NTA)?

A Notice to Appear is issued by immigration enforcement to start removal proceedings. It outlines allegations and charges and provides a hearing date before an immigration judge.

3. What legal defenses are available in removal proceedings?

Defenses may include eligibility for relief such as asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, or withholding of removal, depending on individual circumstances and legal criteria.

4. Can a removal order be appealed?

Yes. If an immigration judge issues an order of removal, the decision may often be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals within a set time frame.

5. Does having a criminal conviction automatically lead to removal?

Not all criminal convictions lead to removal. However, certain convictions — particularly aggravated felonies or offenses involving moral turpitude — can make non-citizens removable. The impact depends on the specific charge and immigration status.
