In these difficult economic times, many parents are faced with the burden of seeking new employment opportunities. When alimony, spousal support, child custody, and child support issues are involved, it is important to know your rights and obligations while working to protect your best interests. Our attorneys know that the process of relocation can be difficult, and we will help guide you through the process to fight for your financial security and work to secure an optimal lifestyle for your family.
Do not just pick up your children and leave without the approval of the court. You may risk your rights and face civil and criminal penalties. We can provide you with the legal assistance you need to protect yourself and your children.
Relocating With Your Children
If you have an opportunity such as a job or remarriage that requires you to relocate, you may need legal representation if you want to take your children with you. Relocation statutes in Florida allow the relocation of a parent and custodial children if there is a legitimate reason to move and if the decision is in the best interests of the child.
If you are planning on moving more than 50 miles from your current home, you must give notice and request the other side to agree. If the child’s other parent does not agree, you can petition the court to allow the relocation. Our attorneys will help you prepare your case and articulate your reasoning to the court for the move.
Preventing the Relocation of Children
In addition to representing parents seeking to relocate a child, we also represent parents interested in preventing relocation. We understand that non-custodial parents have an interest in making sure that their children are close. We will help you present your case to the court and address other issues involving child support and child custody.
