 In
2006, the Florida Legislature elected to address and rewrite the procedures
regarding relocating a child when the primary custodial parent chooses to move
outside of the jurisdiction of their current standing court orders.
The standard
for determining if you may relocate a child in a move is if the relocation is
fifty miles or greater from the current from the current address where the child
primarily resides.
The current
legislation sets forth the following in an attempt to relocate a child if you
intend to move farther than 50 miles:
-
The moving primary custodial
parent must obtain permission from the non-custodial parent and/or the
family court which currently has jurisdiction;
-
The moving parent must file a
legal Notice of Intent to Relocate which includes new address, phone number,
the reason for the proposed relocation, and a proposal for accommodating the
other parent’s access, visitation, or time-sharing rights.

Upon receiving the relocation
notice in writing, the non-custodial parent has 30 days to file an objection
notice regarding the move or any other part of the relocation notice. Both
parents are also given this same 30 day period to negotiate and reach an
amicable agreement as to the terms of a new custody and visitation arrangement,
as well as if and how financial responsibilities will be divided for travel
expenses for both parents to spend fair and reasonable time with their child (or
children).
If permission or an amicable
agreement between the parents cannot be reached during this period, a hearing
will be scheduled. In a child relocation hearing, the court will hear the
respective arguments and render a decision based on what is in the best interest
of the child.
Keeping this in mind, it is not
uncommon for custody issues to arise as a result of a child relocation request.
If the court believes such a move may not be in the best interest of the child,
the potential for primary custody to be reversed, while rare, is not unheard of.
