Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Post Divorce Decree Change
In my divorce decree I was restriced to live in the county I now reside in. I was granted primary residentual custody of my two children. My ex lives in the same city and constantly harrasses me about everything. He sees the children regularly. I want to know under what circumstances would the courts allow me to move to another part of the state with the children? In order to move I need the courts permission since the ex will not allow the move. Is there an attorney in my area that would specialize in this type of situation?

Re: Post Divorce Decree Change
Under Florida law, a court will grant your petition to relocate for a good reason: employment, marriage, family relations, etc. which are in the best interests of the children. A court will not likely approve your move just to avoid the father. You should realize that the father may want and receive extended visitation in the summer and holidays as a trade off for your move. You are advised to consult with a local family law attorney regarding legal procedure and options. Any experienced family law attorney should be able to handle your case. In today's world, such relocation is common.
