Relocating with a child after a separation or divorce requires careful legal consideration. In Florida, if a parent wants to move the child’s primary residence more than 50 miles from the other parent, they must obtain either written consent from the other parent or court approval. The court’s primary concern is the best interests of the child, balancing factors such as the reasons for the move, the impact on the child’s relationship with both parents, and the child’s needs.

At Monarch Family Law, we help parents navigate relocation requests and disputes, working to protect your rights and your child’s well-being. Whether you’re seeking to relocate or opposing a move, our experienced attorneys provide guidance and strong representation.
