Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Moving out of state notice

My fiance is planning to move up to New England with me in June 02. How much notice does she have to give her Ex-husband that she and her children are moving?

My Ex-Wife only gave me 30 days notice. Is this the normal

amount of time?

Thank You

Re: Moving out of state notice

Although your Final Judgment of Dissolution may contain no restrictions on relocation, family law judges will often interpret the shared parental responsibility under Florida law to include requirement of a reasonable notice by the parent having residential custody to the other parent. You are advised to consult with a local family law attorney, especially if you intend to give no notice. Is such action in the best interest of the child? This is the question asked by the court.

You should carefully review the Final Judgment in the divorce case to determine what, if any, requirements or restrictions have been ordered regarding relocation with the children. I strogly urge you to consult with an attorney prior to taking action.
