Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: Relocation

You first need to find out from the NJ court what they will accept. Get them what they want.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Years ago, the Florida Department of Family and Children Services (f/k/a HRS) used to do home studies for adoption matters when they were required. I would suggest you call them and they probably can either accomodate you or advise you how it can be accomplished.

Re: Relocation

NJ's Dept of Children & Families ought to forward the order/request to do the Home Study to the County in Florida in which you are to relocate and in which your mother lives. They should also conduct a background check on the adults living in the house to ensure the child's safety too.
