Avoiding and Resolving Parental Relocation Problems
The parenting plan presented to the family court will specify detailed rights, responsibilities and logistical considerations concerning each divorced parent's access to the children, subject to minor adjustments as needs and circumstances change over time. If a parent proposes moving away with a child, however, so that the other parent loses regular access to the child, Florida law requires the parent desiring to move to follow a procedure set forth in the applicable statute.

If you need advice about your rights on either side of a proposal to relocate with a child, contact Brodie & Friedman, P.A. in Boca Raton to discuss your situation with a seasoned family law attorney.
If you're the parent proposing relocation with a child, you should understand right away that court permission is both necessary and hard to get if the other parent opposes the idea. Another option, of course, will be to negotiate for the other parent's consent. The court will still need to find that the relocation is in the child's best interest, but at least you won't need to refute opposing arguments.
