Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I have sole custody of my 4 year old son in the state of Florida as of Feb. 2015. ( the father started with every other weekend in our final judgement dated august 2013, and failed to show so the judge removed all visitation / access to child )
I have not been able to find relocation information that clarifies if a parent has sole custody ( myself ) what steps needs to be taken for relocation.All articles / forms seem to file for relocation in order to notify other parent so appropriate adjustments / ability to modify the current judgement since there is access/ shared time which does not apply to my case as the father has no visitation court ordered.
I just need to know the correct step to take to re locate more than 50 miles? is it a simple address change, or do i need a judges permission to relocate / notify the other parent,.

A technical reading of Florida's parental relocation statute would indicate that if the other party is not "entitled to access to or time-sharing with the child," then the statute would not necessarily apply to you.
Your best bet would be to speak with a family law attorney in your area to discuss your options.
Review Florida statute 61.13001
If he has no access to the child by court order then you can relocate.
