Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
divorce/custody
I'm getting divorced (working an agreement) and have a 5 yr old child in my custody. I was told that I cannot move more than 50 miles from where I reside. What happens if I get married again and my new husband gets a job transfer to another state? Will I be able to move with my new family? If the answer is no, what happens if I get pregnant from my future husband and he needs to move to another state? Where--name removed--I stand in this situation?

Re: divorce/custody
If the father won't give you permission to move, you'll have to follow a statutory procedure, giving the father notice through an official form. The father will then have 30 days to object to the move. If he objects, you'll have to file an action similar to a custody action, seeking permission from the judge to move. Permission to move is often difficult to obtain, especially where the father has been responsible, always exercised visitation, and paid support on time.
