Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I hope you hired the services of an attorney to handle this for you. Hearings are scheduled the day you request them so I suspect you have not asked for the hearing date. If your wife took your daughter out of state and you are not divorced from her - she has as much right to her as you do. More information is needed? Is this your ex wife by chance - have you filed for divorce - is there a family law order in place - did she obtain an order from the court to relocate.

Florida has just revised its relocation la--as you know--to provide that you are entitled to a hearing within 30 days of filing a motion where there is a visitation or parenting plan order in place or where there is a case involving children (such as a divorce) pending.

Ms. Becude suggests that hearings are schedule the day you request them. That may be true in Jacksonville, where I hear things move more efficiently than in many parts of Florida, but for the rest of us, scheduling hearings can be quite a task. I agree with Ms. Becude that you should seek an attorney to assist you in getting your hearing scheduled expeditiously.
