If you are divorced with minor children and have a court-ordered parenting plan for timesharing, and you are seeking to relocate more than 50 miles away, you should hire a Relocation Attorney Orlando to litigate your case. You will need to work diligently to prove that your relocation is in the best interests of your family. Generally speaking, Florida Statutory law provides that relocation of a parent means you are moving more than 50 miles away from your current primary address for a period of more than 60 days.

Many higher court decisions provide reasons why a court might deny relocation. If you are moving more than 50 miles away because you seek to prevent your children from having continuous contact with your spouse, a court will likely deny your relocation. Any relocation must be in the best interests of your minor children, not just for the purpose of enhancing your personal circumstances. Relocation is granted in many instances, but the burden of proving your relocation is appropriate and beneficial for both yourself and your children can be extensive.

A Relocation Attorney Orlando can help you to make sure that you are meeting the requirements that a judge or court will look for when deciding whether to grant your relocation with minor children. Your attorney will prepare any affidavits documents in order to prove that you have carefully researched and planned to move to a location that offers a better school for the children, and better opportunities for your career than everyone could have had if you had remained in the Central Florida area. A relocation attorney Orlando will be familiar with the fact intensive and technical aspects of filing a petition for relocation with minor children.

Some of the pertinent questions that will apply to make sure that your petition to relocate will be favorably viewed by the court are: 1. Is this move an effort to cease visitation with the other parent? 2. Will a substitute visitation/long-distance parenting plan be monetarily feasible on account of the extra travel expenses, 3. Will the substitute visitation allow the custodial parent the meaningful timesharing that was the cause for visitation originally? And, 4. Is the move in the best interest for the child or children?
