Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Location agreement of exchange of child for visitation.

In Florida are there specific laws concerning the agreed upon exchange of a child for visitation? The non-custodial parent has moved 300 miles away and wants the child brought to a half way point every 2 or 3 weeks on a Friday night and again on Sunday afternoon. Can the custodial parent be forced to drive 600 miles to make the exchange?

Child Visitation

You need to have the trial judge modify his visitation Order. Generally you are not going to have what is called "standard visitation" when the couple is 300 miles apart. It is considered unreasonable to travel that far. Usually the parent who has moved is responsible for the travel and must make the arrangements. You need to have this brought to the judges attention.
