When Parental Relocation is an Issue, Call Audrey A. Jefferis, P.A.
If you or your former spouse relocates more than 50 miles or outside of the state, changes to your parenting plan will need to be made. Relocating with a minor child in Florida requires strict adherence to Florida's laws and significant advanced notice to the non-moving parent. If you and your former spouse agree to the relocation, you can submit an amended parenting plan to the court without a hearing. If the non-moving parent objects to the relocation with the child, a hearing will be held before the court to determine if the move is appropriate and in the best interest of the children. This decision can disrupt and permanently change your life and that of your children. It is imperative that a qualified and capable attorney represent you when so much is at stake.
Your divorce modification lawyer can suggest methods of making a long-distance co-parenting role less problematic. Regular telephone or e-mail contact, an established travel schedule and use of webcams have all helped out-of-state parents continue their role in a child's life.
We strive to keep your family as intact as possible after divorce, for the sake of your children. Our law offices encourage stable relationships for your children, despite a relocated parent's absence. Any settlement revision modification we propose would reflect this goal.
If you are remarrying, being required to relocate on business or have lost your job, Audrey A. Jefferis can see to modifications of your settlement agreement. We can also answer any other family law questions you might have.
