Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Dear Atty:
I live quite a distance away from my kids and for the last 1.5 years have been cut off from them under circumstances yet to be heard in court. I have sued the other parent for custody on (I believe) very sound grounds. I understand the merits of a case have precious little to do with its outcome these days, so I am preparing to move close enough to have them at least half of the time. I'm thinking I need to buy a house in the same neighborhood so their school zone and even bus stop are the same. However, that neighborhood is not that appealing an area. I would really rather have them in a less downscale area. Keeping in mind the "at least 50%" requirement, what are the considerations that need to be in place to ensure the law (or those who wield it) cannot use proximity to detrimental limits on one's time with his kids?
BTW, all parties live in Florida.

Not sure what you mean by proximity to detrimental limits. If the kids already live in a questionable environment why would you want to keep them in that environment by buying a house in a bad neighborhood Question do they attend a good school? You may want to consult an attorney about your options.
Best wishes
