Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Moving out of state

I have sole custody of my son and my ex-husband has visitation rights twice a week and other occasions. I have always made it a point to make sure that he sees his father without wavering once. My question is that in my court papers it states that I can not move out of the state of Florida without the consent of the father. I have been offered a career opportunity that would immensely bless my son as well as the welfare of my family. I am willing to do what ever it takes to continue a productive relation between my ex-husband. Please advise.

A non-relocation clause is standard in a dissolution with children. With or without the clause, you have to notify the other parent of your intent to relocate. If the other parent objects, you do have to go through the court system and may or may not be granted the permission to leave with the child. The judge will look at certain factors all centered around the best interest of the child.
