Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

When there is no stipulation in a divorce decree as to who is responsible for transporting of the child during weekend visits, is there a law pertaining to who is responsible? We recently had to move to be closer to my elderly parents which is causing my husband to transport his daughter 90 mins. each way. His ex-wife has never, in the child's 12 years, assisted with transportation. Can you tell me if there is a law in FL pertaining to this?

There is no law if you cannot work it out the judge will decide. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659

There is no statute on that point. Most Judges rule that the receiving parent is responsible for that portion of the trip if there is nothing on that point in the Final Judgment/Parenting Plan.
