Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Hi

I have filed a motion to relocate. I had to reopen a case. I have done everything to my knowledge. I wrote a letter to the other party, and received a letter from the other party not being in mutual agreement. Now I called today to check up on the status of the case and to see if there is any court date coming up. I find out I have to do something else because the other party contested my petition to relocate. I spoke with a case manager in the west palm beach courthouse and she stated she can't give me legal advice, she told me to read the statues. I have read the statues and I think I'm missing that part, because I still don't know what else I have to do. I wrote in the letter where I wanted to move, I wrote a proposal time sharing, and explained why is it a benefit to the kids. I really don't know what else, I have gotten written statements from my son's school saying that it will benefit him if I'm with him. ( my son is deaf and he goes to the school for the deaf and the blind "FSDB" he stays in a dorm there, I currently live about 4 1/2 hrs away from him. this is the reason im intending to relocate, i want him to live with me and his sisters.) so what else do I need to file? PLEASE HELP!!

I don't think anyone can help you without looking over what you sent to your ex and what you've filed. You need to take all your paperwork and what your ex sent back to you to a lawyer. Relocation lawsuits are very tricky, and you shouldn't probably do this on your own. You should also be aware that very, very few relocations are granted, though I have to admit that your situation is more unique than the usual case I see.
