Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

If my ex did not respond to my petition to relocate with my son, why am I waiting on a hearing with a magistrate rather than getting my permission so I can move?

Did you default your ex? If so, you still have to present evidence to the court to allow to to relocate. Did you notice a hearing? Relocation is a very difficult proposition. You should have an attorney work on it with you. Good luck.

In my jurisdiction a hearing is still required because you must show why this move is in the best interest of the child, as opposed to the move being in your interest. Your request may still be denied even if the Father does not appear. You need to speak with a local attorney about your local rules.

File for a default, use a lawyer and it will go through quicker.
