Meeting the Best Needs of the Children
In order to move a child more than 50 miles away, the parent seeking relocation must either obtain permission from the other parent or a court order permitting the move. The parent must also demonstrate that the move is in the best interests of the child.
Questions the court asks include:
- How long has the parent and child lived in Florida?
- What is the child's physical and mental health status?
- What is the child's preference?
- Will the child enroll in a quality school?
- What is the relationship between the child and other parent?
- Does the parent seeking the move have family in the new state or city?
- Can a parenting time (visitation) agreement be made that allows the child more frequent or longer visits with the other parent?
- How will the parent and child communicate?
- Why does the parent want to move?
- Does the parent have to move?
Please note, this firm can also modify existing child custody, visitation and support agreements if necessary. You can have confidence in our in-depth knowledge, dedicated service and extensive experience.
