Often
referred to as "Parent Relocation", in essence the legal
process of one parent choosing to move beyond the 50
mile radius of most child custody court orders actually
refers to the relocation of the child, or
children as the primary residential parent moves out of
the designated zone of the court order.
A
parenting plan which has been approved by the court and
specifies the existing court orders regarding explicit
detailed rights, responsibilities, logistical
considerations, and limitations concerning each divorced
parent's access to the children. Stipulations may or not
exist in the court order which allows some minor
adjustments as needed if circumstances change over a
period of time.
When a
parent who has primary custody of a child, or children,
chooses to move outside of the designated approved
geographical radius of the other parent the regular
access and visitation between the child and the
non-custodial parent will be be affected.
Florida
law requires the parent desiring to move, thus
relocating the child away from the other parent must
following the proper legal procedure in order to be
allowed to do so.

It is important to know that often times your
ability to relocate with the child, or children
often hinges if the non-custodial parent agrees to
not contest the petition to relocate, if they choose
to contest the relocation, as well as how hard they
my fight to block the relocation of their children.
While the relationship of the child with both
parents is important, the court will, first and
foremost, consider what is in the best interest of
the child.
The court will consider a number of statutory
factors in determining if they should approve or
disapprove allowing a parent seeking to relocate out
of the existing designated geographical area
or out of state with the child. Considering various
factors is essential in ensuring a parent does not
move without consideration of the overall best
interests of his or her children. Some of these
factors factors include, but are not limited to:
-
Adherence with the current
custody parenting and visitation plan;
-
The relationship between
the child and the non-moving parent;
-
The financial and emotional stability of the
parents;
-
Age of child, or children;
-
The ability to modify the Parenting Plan and
Timesharing plan;
-
The amount of time the non-moving parent has
with the child.
If you are
the primary custodial parent who desires to relocate
with your child, or the non-custodial parent who wishes
to stop the relocation of your child, it is paramount
that you seek experienced legal counsel so that you are
