What if the primary caregiver wants to move away from the non-custodial parent?

In Florida, if a parent with the majority of the custody wants to relocate a distance of 50 miles or more from their current residence, they must follow the obligations stated in the Relocation Statute. These obligations include providing written notice to the other parent about the intention to move. This gives the other parent the opportunity to either agree or object to the relocation.
If the other parent objects to the relocation, the custodial parent needs to file a petition for relocation and adhere to the legal requirements. In this situation, it is advisable for the custodial parent to seek guidance from a knowledgeable attorney to ensure compliance with the strict guidelines of the statute.
