Relocation

If you have children from a prior relationship and desire to relocate, you may likely be subject to Florida’s Relocation statute. When seeking to relocate, a parent is often seeking to modify a previous court order addressing parenting and time sharing. Despite the proceeding being a post judgment modification, different elements apply.

Florida’s relocation statute establishes very specific requirements and timelines. Failure to comply with the relocation statute can result in a finding of contempt of court and compel the return of the child to the jurisdiction of the court, placing the child in the custody and care of the non-relocating parent.
