When it comes to parental relocation, you have to do your homework and know all the factors. There is a list of factors that must be considered if you want to be granted permission to move away. The law is meant to protect children, as well as the parental rights of both parties involved. In most cases, if the visiting parent is allowed the same visitation schedule, the relocation will be approved.

Facilitating Relocation

With recent law change regarding relocation in Florida, it is important that your attorney understands your rights and obligations. The first thing you will have to do is file a Notice of Intent to relocate. If the other parent objects, you will have to file a Petition for Relocation, at which point a judge will hear your case and consider factors such as:

• You got married and your spouse got a job
• You can no longer afford to live here and you can live with parents in another state.
• You have received a promotion and want to relocate

Based on the information you prepare regarding your proposed relocation, I can answer any questions you may have. In the end, only the judge can make a final decision, and factors such as whether or not the visiting parent pays child support will come into play. If they are not using their visitation or they are not making child support payments, the judge will be more sympathetic.
