Parental Relocations − Moving More Than 50 Miles Away

The family law relocation statute in Florida is strict regarding a move that is more than 50 miles away from the other parent. If you want to relocate, you must petition the court and then have a relocation hearing. You need a court order or approval from your ex-spouse. Factors to determine relocation include:

• The best interests of child
• Future employment opportunities
• Military reasons
• Enhancing the child's life
• Consent from the other parent
• Costs to visit the child

As a child custody and visitation lawyer, I have the experience required to assess all the factors involved in your situation. I will work with you to build the strongest case for you and your child.
