Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I have sole custody of my 6 yr. old and I live in Pinellas County, FL. The father has phone visitation twice a week and when he relocates to Florida he is now in Pennsylvania, he has 2 hrs. visitation on Sunday in my Mom's home with my mom present. I would like to relocate to Columbia County, FL but section 61 13001 in the Florida statute says I have to get his permission to relocate outside of 50 miles. My ex has moved in Pennsylvania and will not give me his new address. How do I follow the courts instructions regarding notifying him if I do not have an address. Is there any thing I can do? Thank you, Kadie

Depending on what your court papers state, you would need an attorney to review them. If you have sole custody, I do not believe it would matter where you live just so long as he has his phone visitation. You can always arrange visitation at a nurturing center instead of at your mother's home.
Safest for you to follow the procedure in the statute. Use the form in the statute to notify the Father and file a copy with the court. If he declines the Judge may give you permission.
