relocation
Child Relocation Cases It is fairly common for a parent to consider moving away with his or her child. In order to move away from the other parent, he or she would need to take legal action, if the move is in excess of 50 miles. Florida has a very specific Relocation statute which must be followed precisely, whether you are the moving parent or the remaining parent. Common reasons for relocation can include:
- Pursuing a job opportunity
- Living closer to family or friends
- Continuing with education
- Economic reasons, such as moving to a more affordable area
If a parent wishes to relocate with the child, he or she is legally obligated to send notice of these intentions to the other parent. The other parent then has the right to contest the relocation. You can lose your rights immediately if these procedures are not followed.
