Relocation of Children

If you are considering relocating with the minor child, you will want to familiarize yourself with Florida law on relocations involving a minor child.

Speak with an attorney prior to relocating the child to learn more about how the law applies to your situation.

We represent people throughout the Orlando and Central Florida area in divorce and paternity cases involving relocation of a child.

Types of Restrictions on Relocation:

Relocation Law – Florida Statute 61.13001

Florida Statute 61.13001 details the required process for relocating with a minor child more than 50 miles. Failing to strictly follow this process as detailed in this statute can result in significant problems for the party seeking to relocate the child or the party who failed to properly object to the relocation of the child.

Administrative Orders

In many counties throughout Florida, there are administrative orders that take effect upon the filing of a divorce or paternity case as well. These orders typically have provisions restricting relocation of the minor child without the Court’s approval and can include restrictions limiting the changing of the child's current school district as well. It is important to review and comply with the requirements and restrictions of any administrative orders that may be in place.

Prior Final Judgments, Orders and Parenting Plan

If you already have a Final Judgment, Order or parenting plan addressing your children, it likely has provisions regarding relocation. It is important to review these provisions as well to ensure that you are fully in compliance with any requirements as well.
