Although it’s the latest and hottest topic in family law, over the last several
decades a portion of America’s children of divorce have quietly grown up with
parents living in different cities, different states and even different countries.
As these children are now becoming adults and parents themselves, legal and
mental health professionals are coming to understand relocation issues from
a different perspective, i.e. through the eyes of the children. About ten
years ago, National Public Radio aired an interview with a young man who shared
his painful experiences traveling coast to coast, torn between two homes.
Fortunately, his experience brought national attention to the problems experienced
by this new generation of traveling children.
