Legal Requirements and Strategic Considerations in Child Relocation Cases

Florida law sets clear requirements when a parent seeks to relocate with a child. Petitioners must show the move is made in good faith and serve the child’s best interest. The court evaluates factors like distance, reasons for relocation, and the effect on the child’s relationship with the other parent. Failing to meet these can lead to denial of the request.

A strategic approach is crucial. Timing, evidence, and demonstrating how the move benefits the child are key to success. Our attorneys help clients build strong cases, anticipate opposition, and negotiate solutions that protect family stability and parental rights.
