In Florida, if you are the parent of a minor child wishing to move more than 50 miles you may need to seek legal help in order to meet the requirements of the Florida's Relocation Statute. At the law firm of Ragano, P.A., we are experienced in relocation cases and have an extensive network of resources to help parents with these cases.
Relocation Statutes
The Florida's Relocation Statute, 61.13001, F.S., which was enacted in 2006, regulates procedures in Relocation cases and defines Relocating as moving at least 50 miles away and for more than 60 days.
Agreed Upon Relocation
The following summarizes the steps that must be followed, if the relocation is agreed upon by both parents, and if there is not an existing cause of action in the case:
The primary residential parent , the other parent, and every other person entitled to visitation with the child must agree to the relocation of the child’s principal residence, then must sign a written agreement that reflects the consent to the relocation and that defines the visitation rights for the non-relocating parent and any other persons who are entitled to visitation; and describes, if necessary, any transportation arrangements related to the visitation.
