Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
child relocation
I am not married to the father of my 2 children. I am the custodial parent (I have physical custody of them) with shared legal custody. there is/has been a child support order, as well as a visitation order established. We have had an off & on again relationship and at present, for the last 6 months have been living together. This has not worked out large in part to reasons of fidelity. I have a large number of opportunities for me in Florida that would greatly benifit my situation that I absolutely do not have here in Massachusetts (this can be explained). To begin with, my mother whom my children are significantly close with lives there (Florida), I have a great job and living arrangement waiting for me (all can be verified). What are Massachusetts laws regarding child relocation under these circumstances and any other information you could give me would be most appreciated.

Re: child relocation
You will need a modification of the court order for custody and visitation. our office has had success in these types fo cases.
