CHILD RELOCATION IN SARASOTA, FL

Navigating Difficult Marital & Family Decisions with Flaherty Law Firm

Marital and family decisions involving minor children can be some of the most challenging aspects of family law. Among these, child relocation is a particularly complex issue. According to Florida Statute 61.13001, certain relocation factors are taken into consideration by the court when deciding the living arrangements of a child or children.


Typically, if a parent wishes to move or relocate with their minor child to a residence that's 50 miles or more from their current home, they must either come to a written agreement with the other parent or seek the court's permission. The courts, in this case, will closely review the specific Florida statute governing relocation.


Should the non-relocating parent refuse to consent, the relocating parent must file a petition seeking relief. It is crucial to understand your rights and responsibilities before making these pivotal decisions, as they are vital in safeguarding your rights.
Cases involving child relocation often require litigation.
