What is the process?

Approval of Relocation

Information Sent to Receiving State

The information provided by the Defendant is then sent to the receiving state. The receiving State will then, in turn, investigate and determine if it is appropriate for the Defendant to relocate. During the investigation process, the Defendant may not travel to the state where they wish to relocate.
